| Gotcha. Looks like it's well worth the effort though. I have an older P-40 I didn't cover. May give it a try. Thanks for the information. Both of you are truly Masters of the Craft !!!! |

| One at a time is correct. I precut and install (no glue yet)all the pieces between let's say former B3 and B4. Then remove and glue all them back in. Also since they should be the same length, just cut the sides on a bevel so it stays up higher than the stringers. Each piece is actually one cut since I flip the stock material over and the bevel is already on one side. Use a wood glue or cement and not CA also. |

| Some thoughts on the color you requested will be coming your way shortly. Beautiful work! |

| Allow me: You are absolutely correct about the technique and you have to fit each one. |

| Hey Moose, Newbie here. I left a comment on one of Dave's pics from when he built the THUD about using filler to finish the fuselage. SO if I am reading and seeing right here, you actually have to cut a plank to fill each void then apply the filler and sand? I had never seen any comments or "tutorials" on it until i saw your comment about "290 planks later". Any trick to bulk cutting or do you have to fit each one? |

While the filler in the reconstructed wing fillets sets up, had the time to carve and install a better air intake. |

The underside of this bird was quite challenging to make work. The wing fillet tie ins are a PIA. If you build per plan you will end up doing it over. Other than that this 800 series kit like the Mossie is great. |

A p-39Q in the works ....ergo 50 cal. underwing gun pods. |

| I've always loved how offbeat this plane was with its mid engine and big gun and trike landing gear. You are doing great credit to the real thing. |

1/64" plywood and thin CA makes wing fillets much simpler. |

| Looking great!! Details do make a difference. |

Tried feathers two different ways. Painting will dictate the path for future builds. |
