Landing gear needs one more strut. As with David, nacelles didn't fit, so had tyo pqde out with 1/16 stock tapered down. Additinal silkspan will help. Hope to sneak in one night this week for nacelle maounting. So close to painting....Ughhhhhh.. |

Two coats of Pactra Primer/Sealer on hand carved rudders. They are hinged but right now very rigid to show seperation for static display. |

Rudder near completion. The stabilizer patch installed and sanded and the four hinge pivot points installed. |

Twin rudders. This is the stock material and stencil for carving. For some reason the Guillow's way just didn't work for me. Lots of fit and shape problems. |

| Thank you David, I cheated. Those rudders were carved from 1/2" stock, two pieces held are together with a tiny drop of CA. The patch where the stabilizer ties in is patched now and I re-seperated them again to form the four pivot points. It will not be moveable. Picture to follow. |

| I think he added about what I would have but he did it a lot cleaner. Those rudders are so smooth... |

| Lookin good! Did you add the stringers as DD does or is that per kit? |

| Really nice detail work. |

| Trying your landing gear assembly method with the balsa filler installed. Still not sure if wheels will be used though. Will eventually get around to trying the "mattolson" resin casting, but not on this one. |

| Thanks. Between implementing your extra detailing and David's build techniques, and figuring my available time to build; this B-24D model would have been updated to a "J" model. |

| This is looking really super! |

| Nice details in the cockpit, I can relate to that! |
| moostang51, Image # 3483 | 04 Jul 07 15:36 |
Still need seat harnesses and misc. levers, throttle throws, etc. Will install right before canopy installation. |

Scratch built cockpit. Much better in 3-D. Early stages of top turret detailing. Raided my son's Legos for parts. Thanks Buddy. |

| My humble opinion...Green Dragon also. If silver is the background add some powdered Al dust to the paint it fills the tissue and gives a great silver surface. |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 3419 | 01 Jul 07 19:18 |
| Mine too! Paint the entire section where it's yellow AND green with yellow first. The green will be easy after that. |
| Xanadu, Comment for image # 3419 | 01 Jul 07 19:10 |
| Green Dragon..........thats my vote! |
