I am wanting to get something accomplished so the detail aspect of this build is going to be almost nil in the pit. You can spend a month of Sundays in that and still not have it come out ace.
obligatory time stamp.

Image

Image

working the pit just a bit but it is really too small for me to see anyway.

Image

Image

Painting ans PE are now extremely difficult for me in this scale so that's why no faces or side panels are done. I am going for the exterior paint scheme anyway.

got the wings on today and the tail surfaces also. I know the tail looks off but I assure you it isn't.

Image

this gap under the wing is filled in with C/A and glazing putty by Bondo. That stuff is smooth in its application and sets quickly and is easy to sand.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Well I guess the tail is off a tad so its going to get repaired later.

Image

more later

Shouldn't this be moved into the Messerschmitt GB?

Oh, and I love the G4 btw...

It should be, I thought I put it there but then I am old and feeble minded.

I am going to withdraw this build and go with something larger. I have been having more problems with my eyes and like a year ago my left eye has a detached retina abd the spot I need to see to mask the 110s canopy just fuzes together and it looks like one big blob. I have a 24 scale 109 G-10 coming which I will not have as much problem with because less straining the eyes.

See y'all next week.

Paul, take care of those eyes! I am sorry, though. I have this kit on the way and was looking forward to your build. I'll survive.

After pondering my situation I finally carved out enough tape to make a half @$$ masking on the canopy.
I came to realize what was not helping matters any was how faint some of the frame work was, try seeing it through my eyes and you will understand.

Image

Anyway, success, so I am almost ready to hit the primer again and then paint.

Image

Image

Yep, going wheels up.

Image

I know there are some things that need attention and there is still some sort of a list on the horizontal stab but at this point I don't care. I just want to accomplish something constructive.
