Nthing else. The Marauder is sidelined indefinitely.

I'm sorry to hear about the Marauder. I was looking forward to seeing your finished model. Keep up the good work on the Vigilante!

[lastvautour]

Subassemblies get a coat of primer. I normally wait until all is glued; however, it is easier to sand the inner nacelles and winglets if done this way.

[J Luke]

That's a good point about the nacelles. I might need to consider that on future builds.

Is that filler primer?

[lastvautour]

Dupli-Color primer filler.

Louis

[lastvautour]

Major modification to the engine nacelles.

Louis

[J Luke]

Giving the engines an upgrade, are you?

[lastvautour]

Have to. The later versions have a compartment in the rear of the nacelle. I was using drawings from an earlier version, and not specifically for the CE-145C.

Louis

[J Luke]

Do you glue it over the primer? If so, what glue do you use?

Or do you sand the primer back to the bare wood and use regular wood glue?

[lastvautour]

I used superglue and cleaned up the area first

Louis

[lastvautour]

Small progress. Compare tp previous photos.

Louis

[J Luke]

Great job on the modification. It will be done before you know it!

[lastvautour]

Thank you Jordan. It has a low priority these days.

Upper fuselage radome and wing assembly glued to fuselage.

Coming along nicely! Have the spinners already been cut off, or will they be?
