Roger's Hellcat
Here's the main mounts, drop tank and prop in place to check the stance and fit of the varoius parts. This is pretty much of a moment of truth. Luckily the gear appears to be within spec and will be attached after the parts are painted separately. I'm not sure if I'm going to attach the gear doors to the struts before painting or not. The canopy is next to be fitted. More as it happens as I'm still working away on Bret's F-100. Best to all of you. I'll have another installment in a week or two. The deadline would have been achievable if I hadn't cut up the fuselage-- See what I mean about "worst enemy"?
