AliGauld Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Ach all my hopes dashed but you'll get that all sorted. Of that I have no doubt. Nice progress. Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Thanks @mark.au, @giemme, @AliGauld, @Hamden, @elger, @Biggles87 and @Dr. Quack. Filler and gloop. And after sanding... Still work to be done there, but not much. Still bits to do here as well, but getting there. You all have a great day. Stay safe.

Spookytooth Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 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. Plus the exhaust mounts fitted. Undersides prepped for prime, again. 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. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Mustangs are addictive, be warned..... Well done Man !! Sincerely. CC 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. Next up this bit. This is where the fun starts. It should of been fitted while gluing the two halves together. The arrow left to where it is suppose to go, the other arrow points to the seam, join line which has cracked open. And this bit fits on top of it. So, now for some serious deliberations on how to fix it. Well you all keep warm Stay safe. Simon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks lads, it took just few minutes with a file. 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. Simon. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 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. Simon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @cobraleader and @Biggles87. Well things have progressed at a snails pace LOL IP fitted (Dry). The windscreen dry fitted. A bit of work needed there. And the little flap on the underside fitted. She is gradually coming together.... Stay safe. Simon. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
