Just an update to let you all know that I have been doing a little work on this model here and there. I had hoped that I had done enough sanding and shaping of the fuselage formers that I would not have to do a lot of sanding and prepping after fitting the inner cockpit skins, as I had to do with the I-16. But, alas, it was not to be. All of my recent work has been lots of sanding on the skinned cockpit, leaving only the thinnest possible remnant of the inner skins. Even with this I will be left with needing to fill some gaps in the outer skins. I have cut the outer skins into several pieces to help with properly aligning them in the best way possible, and I will have to pay very careful attention to matching the graphics up on adjacent pieces, but I think I will be able to pull it off. How well I can pull it off remains to be seen.

Later!
