Thanks Warren! Still got to fix a few sections of seams...going to try to do so from the inside as I can reach there...but it's more done than not now

 

[Jeeves]

I have to say....I've never seen a kit more resistant to glue than this one. The gear legs are final on but regular cement didn't work and even CA was a challenge...

Anyone know what color the lights on the top towards the wing tips were?

You are probably going to find my post obtuse but you should rethink your landing gear installation.

The paint job looks good though.

Cheers, Christian B)

Thanks Christian...yeah it was brought up in the What's on Your Bench thread...I made a goofy mistake interpreting the directions...started the fix earlier

I suspect the pilots would have preferred the wider stance gear scheme. I don't have any definitive information on the upper wing lights but artwork I've seen shows them the same color as the wingtip lights, red to port and green to starboard.

Best!

Fixing those Luis

Been a bit of a bear because the plastic just doesn't want to.adhere with glue or CA....so I added some thin styrene strip to the inside edges of both parts and I figure the glue will.adhere those strips together at least....

Pics to follow in a few days...going to be a busy couple days getting my wife another truck as her current ones frame is apparently rotting out.

Calling this one done...definitely a challenge for me. Made me feel like a novice all over again...glue wouldn't set...no definitive attachment points for parts....fit so so...I am sure many here would pull off a much better job on this one- but this is where I must stop before I launch it with the skeet launcher.
