Excellent progress.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Back at it.

Wings attached and filler applied. Starting to really shape up. I figure a good primer coat to cover the black and let the painting begin.

Time for some Blitzlunch and a strong cuppa.

What was for lunch Jeff? Frankfurters and beans? Sorry but I'm afraid I'm a bit too English to recognise it :ha: (I have seen Diners, Drive-ins and Dives which has helped to expand my knowledge of stateside cuisine!)

Vienna sausage and baked beans. Don't tell my cardiologist. I sensed him biting through his martini glass as it is.

Sounds tasty, we holiday in Austria all the time and I love the food over there. Never had Vienna sausage though. I bet the Cardio won't stress too much - or if he does he can relax by thinking about the options list on his next Mercedes!

I doubt Vienna has ever seen anything like these Shawn.

Thanks for the company everyone. Means a lot.

A short update, Shot Tamiya Spray primer on the carnage. I don't know about you but covering all the "Goobers" makes one feel better about the overall mission.

Looks great with a shot of primer - I agree, builds usually look up once the first coat of primer or paint goes on!
