OK, so I start this here also.

It started some weeks ago with sanding of all raised panel lines and scribe some new one

I panted the pit so far

Image

closing the fuselage, well she's a bit stubborn,
Image

and after a lot of filling and sanding it now is black

as I always say - everything looks good in black ... but there are still some areas I have to take care of

Thanks for looking in

Cheers
Martin

Very nice! Good to know that I'm not the only one who rescribes raised panel lines.
