So before i went away i decided to fill in the seam lines with putty and this is a very good brand. Drys up quick and easy to sand.

As you can see it went on okay.

Used 280 grit sand paper then 500 grit and gave her a quick rub down to get all the dust particles off. Now she is ready for priming.
Well done lovely.

As you can see i was working on the landing gear. I think i have put one of the support struts on wrong way round as i dont think it looks right, but i think it is okay as it is the same on the other side.

Got it right first time! Go purple, go purple. (rock)
The landing gear is a bit tricky to install as you have to make sure they are aligned with each other so the plane is sitting level.
