You keep working like you are, you'll need to clone a pilot to fly the dang thing!

Getting the seam to go away is important. If you're not yet using the magic formula, well, here it is. Most of us are aware of this. Find it in the automotive section of any major store.  Mask the seam and use a putty knife to apply the red stuff. When it's dry sand it wet with wet-dry paper, about 600 grit.  Here's the real magic! Too few of us have discovered this combination. 30% surfacer to 70% leveling thinner will yield an elixir easily passed through an airbrush.  Seams go bye bye now.    Now go back and re-scribe the lines and re-press the rivets. |

A few days to clean up the window/frame seams and we're ready for the first layers of paint.  |

Beautiful work all the way John. In a lot of your pics I've noticed some great reference pics. Where did you find them and where did you get them enlarged? I could use some highly detailed pics. Ruck On!
Cheers, Ski.

Ruck On! Cheers, Ski. I hire little Cuban kids. Honestly, it's just Google images, nothing more. Keep tweeting the searches until you hit on the right combination of key words. And even though they send me too many junk emails, Pintrest is pretty good as well. More painty, painty    |

Nice work on the rotor blades john! The base looks good. |

I suppose soaking the rotor blades in beer overnight would've caused the same drooping effect?   |
