The wings and fuselage were given a second application of filler and sanded and then glued together. I have used this filler exclusively on the model and like the way it works. It's especially interesting that it doesn't clog the sandpaper. Making wing filets this way is by far the easiest way for me. I'll let this dry until daylight and sand it down and then give it another application of filler to smooth out the bumps. |

| it looks sort of like the Japanese ki 61 tony. |

| Both the Japanese and the Soviets were impressed with the plane. The Russians bought 6 and the Japanese bought 3 which they developed further. The jigs and plans never arrived in Japan so none were made there. |

| They sent one or two to the Japanese and I believe they used it as a basis for a fighter they had. I believe less than 20 were built and sent to Romania or somewhere. |

I plan to use these colors + or -. |

These are the markings/decals provided with the kit. |

The plans. There's another one on Ebay right now. This has the most perfect canopy I've ever seen:-) |

| Thanks. It really doesn't look like a fighter. :-) |

Infill is complete and the two sections have been rough sanded. The tail feathers are laminations of 3 pieces of 1/16" stock. |
| David Duckett, Image # 34472 | 07 Aug 15 18:30 |
After gluing the sections together I CA'd in some toothpicks for strength. |

| Thanks. Glue:-) |

| Beautiful model DD. Just curious. How did you attach the outer wing panels to the central wing? From the previous photos, I could not see any signs of provisions being made for attaching the outer panels. -Sky |

| This is before sanding. What looks like extra is sanded to blend in with the top. The dark wood in front of that is where the dowel would go for rubber and is kit wood. |

| This is really a slick little plane. Why the added wood on the rear of the fuselage? By the way,in Chicago that little sticker would have "and often" added. |

| I glued a piece of balsa between each rib because the only main spar is 1/16" by 1/8" and used 3/32" stringers. |
