Underside view showing the amount of filler needed - the wings still need to be blended in.
Filler on the fin insert.
Nearly finished.....
Still needs the stars adding....
All I nned to do now is build the undercarriage.....
.......which is in three separate parts for the main legs - needed to get the trailing and angled orientation - but it makes for a very delicate assembly!
Undercarriage legs attached..... don't breathe!!
It's a very weak assembly.
Correcting the drop tanks.
Finished Model
Note the clear plastic prop - necessary due to the weak undercarriage.
I'm sooooo sad!
Front nosewheel door moved to the correct position.
