Look at those gaps, yuck, that is some job. I know you'll end up with a good result.

Casper - regarding the Hellcat, I love her, er, I mean it. Good job, I'm looking forward to mine now. It does look to be a very nicely detailed model.

Cheers

Tony

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

Alright guys, I will have something more posted this weekend.  We all must be very busy this time of year.  Haven't seen anything in awhile.

I'm doing a bit more right now, but to get everything caught up.  I had to choose a few items to keep this Pe3 correct as much as possible.  I remade the landing gear using paper clips and added the rudders.  I also am still working on closing the gaps and sanding the extra bumps.

Ok guys, time to get a move on...  I have made further strides to finish this plane. Since the last post, I've finished with the interior and am now working on the rear gunner's position and upper canopy glass.  I've also started painting the outside somewhat.

Thanks Trey, It's moving along ok.   Just taking time.  I still need to improve area around the gun mount.  I'll also be clarifying some of the hatches and panel lines.  Still a beast of a kit.  Still debating on either painting with or without the canopy attached.  Working on propellers after this part.

By the way, the two last characters are Russian cartoon characters.  The one with the hat is known as Niznika, or interpreted as "don't know".

Currently building the propellers; the canopy is attached now and I'm taping it up for painting.  :)

Well I know that the build isn't watched much anymore but I would like to continue until this bird is done.  I have completed a lot since the last post but for now here is where I was.  More photos and updates to follow soon.
