Yes, all black. I think it will look good.

That's very cool. Yours is looking great! Are you going to paint it black like the WWII models or do a paint scheme?

Generally ,sanding was all that was required to shape the tail surfaces and smooth out the mill work. They supplied the powdered glue and sandpaper in the kits.

That is interesting. Were those kits made to be assembled right away with no additional carving or shaping?

Strombecker had an interesting way of solving the nacelle issue. The drilled a hole onto the leading edge of the wing the same diameter as the nacelle. I don't have the actual kit so a photo found online is attached here. I might try this sometime.

I like the idea of carving the underside of the wing to fit the nacelles. Looking good!

Continue with shaping the parts and finding the easiest way to get the nacelles to fit.

I think I might just glue the wings onto my C-119, spray it with flat coat and call it done. Since it was just for the derby race, I don't think I'll mess with decals. That way it could be considered complete in March.

 Whoops! nearly missed it.

 Been pretty busy of late so time is somewhat limited.

 Nearly finished the Canberra.
 Nearly finished a RC Vosper MTB.
 The Miles 77 gets looked at occasionally.

 Nearly finished a waterline model of HMAS Sydney(II) which was started with my Grandson.
 He has done most of the minor cutting and gluing and I'm just doing the fiddly bits and painting it.
 Watching progress on various Marauders and I am impressed. Eventually I will start one.

 Good pick up on the Missouri Jim.

 Stay safe All.
