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

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.
