Yes, I sand off where I can reach it. It stinks and is a little messy, but makes for a cleaner looking build and tighter glue joints. |

Yes, love the clean work! Did you sand off the burn marks? |

And perfectly charming in laser cut splendor! |

I was unable to confirm this detail on existing build logs here at the VA. If you are going to build the rudder-fins per the "action plan" then you have to put a 1/16" square piece across the end of the fuselage like this. When I glue the keel down it will be to the top of the 1/16" square piece. |

One half of one of the fuselages is nearly done. This is no small model! |

I'm stopping the nacelle at this point for now. This way I prioritize building with sheet wood and leave myself lots of room to work on the LG. |

The results of a quiet evening out watching TV with the boss. The wood char from the laser is sanded off of the edges. |

Standard die-cut wood on top is 117g, the laser cut wood on the bottom is 111g. Not an exact comparison due to a change in the number and size of the 3/32" sheets, but still a reasonable comparison. My other kit from 10 years ago tips the scale at 173g! |

It is simply a standard die-cut kit with the laser cut parts and part map slipped in. Production kits have part ID's on the blasa sheets so no map needed for them. |

Priority Mail delivery from Guillow's, a laser cut P-38 kit for T&E. |
