The filet is working out. A bit more carving and sanding and the project should be ready for the final priming before paint.

The filet looks good.

Your separate fillet idea works well Lou,I am going to use this idea in the future myself.

The trailing edge filets have been installed and await the wing before final fairing into the fusleage. The wing/fusleage joint has since been glued and clamped. Putty and sanding will follow. Thanks to the wooden filets, putty use will be minimal.

Which brand of putty do you use Lou ?

The tan area in the above photo has been sanded and a bit more putty added to complete the training edge filet. A total prime job is just around the corner. Due to its size, the Yukon and Argus will have to move to the garage for painting.

The Yukon has been sanded and require just a few touch ups around the wing root area. The Yukon roll out should be later this summer. The white top fuselage and tail have been primed in white and will be painted gloss after the touch ups have been done.

Very impressive model,the fillets really have worked well.

No one was more surprized than myself. Chalk one up for Paul D.

Are you going to suspend these large models Lou ? or make monster stands for them.
Barry.

I have not thought that far ahead. I need to re-organize or even enlarge my display area.

After having primed the entire aircraft I noticed the forward fuselage did not quite look right. Rechecking against the templates and judicious use of coarse sandpaper brought things back in line. I am once again in the paint booth and applying white primer as an undercoat to the gloss white.

Sorry no pics.
