Fuselage halves going together! Starting with the wings, obviously as the biggest gluing surface and getting that straight will help getting the nose straight.
Once the nose is glued up you can see the big gaps, on both sides. I can see my home through there.
But I can fix that!
Did that on both sides, and once dry set about sanding it to shape.
I don't think it is exactly the right shape, but there would be a lot more needed in getting rid of a lot of that fat plastic, so this is as it will be!
Getting that done, I moved to the underside seam along the wings. I was thinking about leaving it be, seeing how it is on the bottom side, but then I decided to just fill and sand. CA was
drizzled along it and then sanded out when dry. The shadow of it still remains, but it all smooth now.
Though, that brought to attention a little problem. When I was gluing the wings together, I must have had the top/bottom pieces pressed too hard together, because now I have a step.
I thought about pulling the halves a part and refitting it, but the plastic in these areas has already broken once, so I will be sanding it out and leaving it as is. It will be on the bottom and so
less visible. When I do another one, I'll make sure to fit some shims into there to keep that from happening again.
And that is it for now! Maybe I'll be getting this done before the deadline, but even if not, I will be finishing this up!
