I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

1 day build complete. This was a fun little diversion to work on while watching the Indy 500. I'll go watch the launch tomorrow, then back to the P-38.

The fins were laser cut 3/32 " really hard balsa.

A little break from the P-38. My friend asked me if I would build a model rocket for his kids since I'm "into that stuff". I say sure, No problem. Oh by the way...he says..."were launching it tomorrow, for Memorial Day." OK?... I guess...It's not like I'm racing the Ruskies to get a man into space, just a 1 day build. LOL! I'll post more picks tonight.

Probably need another coat of filler & more sanding. They're not smooth enough (divit free) yet.

The 2 fuselages have been sanded, wood filler applied, and sanded again.

Infill done on center nacelle. I had originally scalloped the formers before deciding to do the infill technique. So I needed to bevel the ends of the infill pieces extra long so they meet one another. I'll know better next time.

Instrument panel done. I cut the basic shape from a piece of cardstock and covered both sides with black electrical tape. Then used a spent .223 brass rifle casing as a punch to make holes. Then glued a piece of clear plastic from a clamshell package to the back of it. Then I used a toothpick with white testors model paint (before my morning coffee) to make gauge markings on back of the plastic so it looks like everything is behind shinny glass. Then backed it with another couple strips of electrical tape. Common pins serve as switches on bottom row.
