CONSTRUCTION |
Construction starts on this one with gluing the two fuselage halves together. No cockpit, no canopy, no muss, no fuss. Naturally, I needed a touch of filler on a few spots, mostly because I'd gouged the plastic removing the parts from the sprue.
Meanwhile, I went to work on the handling trolley. The major parts of this need to have the mold seams removed as well as the rather substantial number of ejector pin marks on the upper framework. In addition, the larger pieces of the upper framework have some pretty big sink marks that need to be filled. Now there is no reason to make this super smooth as it was pretty roughly assembled, but the sink marks would be a bit much.
