Tedious? This is just the kind of learning thread we all need. Looks neat, Rata...

Nooo! You're doing great just the way you are.

btw - regarding swear words, children ALWAYS seem to hear, and repeat, just what you don't want them to...

Especially boys. My sons don't remember much of my wisdom and wit (not that there's all that much TO remember) but have instant recall of all the dumb things I've said.

I think it is probably a matter of quantity. Like you said the W & W is only sprinkled in amongst the swear words.

Getting there! The smaller underside wing root fairing fillets have the usual shark teeth glue tabs which I reckon rarely make a neat join. I cut 'em off and laminated the fillets to give them a bit of rigidity, but leaving a narrow strip of single layer at the fuselage joint.

I pre-shaped the two larger wing blisters by gently burnishing with round paintbrush handle end in the palm of my hand then applied glue to the inside and holding in shape with finger tips till dry. Worked pretty well and glued each one to the wings with the front first, and when set glued the rear, gently smoothing down till dry. Pics show just after attachment and then after paint touch-up. Looks ok.

But wait! They're the easy ones- still to do the SMALLER gun blisters. And there's 4 of 'em!

You always seem to have great color and texture. What printer and paper do you use?
