A bit more sanding and you'll be there,  Simon  :thumbsup2:

 

Ciao 

Well, we will find out tomorrow if I get chance to do some spraying...

Just to say that things don`t look that bad now.

Hi all, @mark.au, @giemme, @Biggles87, @Dr. Quack, @Hamden, @elger and @AliGauld.

 

Well, it`s been nearly two months since I last posted anything on this build and I apologise, life got in the  way.

 

But today I found chance to continue with her.

 

Some re-scribing done.

 

DSCN2957

 

Plus the exhaust mounts fitted.

 

DSCN2958

 

 

Undersides prepped for prime, again.

 

DSCN2960

 

DSCN2961

 

Hopefully I will be able to make some more progress over the festive period.

 

Anyhow, you all keep warm or cool wherever you are.

 

Stay safe.

 

Simon.

All looking good from here, Simon.

No need for any apologies.

Life stuff happens and is usually more important than plastic bothering.

 

Cheers,

Alistair

Nice recovery Simon !!

Go on, you're almost there....

These Mustangs are addictive, be warned.....

Well done Man !!

Sincerely.

Yes lads,  but see below.

 

Thanks @Biggles87, @elger, @Hamden, @Dr. Quack, @franky boy, And @mark.au.

 

Right, yesterday I decided to dry fit some of the external parts.

The intake lip on the underside went well, after a bit of cleaning up.

 

DSCN2962

 

Next up this bit.

 

DSCN2963

 

This is where the fun starts.

It should of been fitted while gluing the two halves together.

 

DSCN2964

 

The arrow left to where it is suppose to go, the other arrow points to the seam, join line which has cracked open.

 

DSCN2964

 

And this bit fits on top of it.

 

DSCN2965

 

So, now for some serious deliberations on how to fix it.

 

Well you all keep warm

 

Stay safe.

 

Simon.

 Thanks @giemme, @Dr. Quack, @Hamden, @elger, @cobraleader.

 

Thanks lads, it took just few minutes with a file.

 

DSCN2966

 

DSCN2967

 

I wiped some TET around the joins, also along the cracked seam then taped.

 

I am going to leave that to set before trying anything else foolish.

 

You all stay safe.

Thanks @giemme, @corsaircorp, @Hamden, @Memphis, @AliGauld, @Biggles87, and @elger.

 

Well we hope that you all had a great Xmas day.

We did, and found time to do a bit as well.

 

Added the gunsight to the coaming then painted (No Pics, sorry).

 

Then added the IP panel.

Again, I am going to leave that to set overnight.

 

I will see what to do tomorrow.

 

Stay safe.

Thank you for your congratulations. Although we don't celebrate Christmas, my youngest daughter and I made a bullfinch for our Christmas tree today.
