Not a whole lot of progress here, but the cockpit parts at least have received their coat of RLM02.....

Thanks, friends!

I've neglected to take many photos of this one, but it is nearly identical to the first build on this thread. Each day this week I have had a few minutes to tinker with it and now it's to this point:

Some small modifications for this one, and a chance to use the unspatted landing gear set that AMTech provided. First I ground down the small fairing segment molded to the lower wing surface and applied a bit of putty where I went too deeeeeeep... :-wall Oh, well, it was a good excuse to brew a cup of coffee and relax! Really the conversion will be quite easy and the optional bare landing gear set will be a nice element to this late-war machine:

Assembling the fuselage and lower wing of this kit was more of a challenge than the first one as the halves were warped somewhat. As you may recall, I bought three kits all packed in one box and I think this one got bent a little as it was the bottom one. No problem, some CA glue and putty fixed it!

Application of more filler and sanding has been accomplished. The landing gear elements were then assembled (these fit great and are really nice!) and the openings in the wing opened up just a little for a good fit of the new gear. After this was satisfactory the upper wing was trial-fitted and the cabane struts adjusted just a little. At the same time the engine and cowling were temporarily slid in place to get an idea of the fit of these parts. Next was a bit of primer to the various seams and now a little more filling and sanding will be on the agenda:
