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. |
