FREDDIEM Posted April 5 Author Report Share Posted April 5 So far, this has been a reasonably easy build. The instructions are very clear. Extremely small amount of flashing. The parts all seem to fit well with only common sense trimming, sanding and adjusting. I am really impressed with Mig Ultra Liquid Mask. I "Hate" masking canopies with tape! Also, the new blue glue....I wonder why we didn't think of this one sooner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Deliduka Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Looks like it's coming along nicely so far. Well done on the seams. However, I see a possible one just in front of the tail. I could be wrong; it robably is your black colored filler already sanded smooth. I'm still enjoying that interior too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDIEM Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 Here's another update....I like to use black CA to fill seams and then polish them out. If you are sparing with it you can really get a nice finish. Manicure polishing tools really work well. Just don't let your wife know where they come from... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
