Little progress... The ribs tapes are placed on the upper lozenges. Same work to be made yet on the lower lozenges...

Thank you mate!

The ribs are also place on the lower surfaces; and I've closed the fuselage. This one asked for TONS of putty!!!

I will sound weird but I have nothing against putty, at least make sure that surface will be perfect and also give me options to make many kits :))

That takes me long time, but it's sanded!!!

As you can see on the lower surface of the fuselage, there were many bubbles in the resin at that location...

Nice job with decals Daniel. :-ok
Probably you must take one more layer of putty. :-/

Depends of primer density, it is possible that you will need no filler ;)

Thank you!

No filler needed anymore on the underside; I will make a wood effect with oil wash and I think that that will make good camo for eventual imperfections...
On the uppererside, filler will be needed for the next phase (the fin...)
