I fixed the two small dings I had on the left side of the fuselage with some Beacon Foam-Filler, sanded, then painted with Tamiya spray paint TS-17 "Gloss Aluminum".
I masked-off and repainted the two panels in the center of the pic. The color and finish seem to be a perfect match to the adjacent panels.
The lighting in this pic make it look worse than it does in person.... to my eye it looks just as good as the rest of the plane.
You can also see that the fit of the top hatch is pretty poor - I haven't figured that out yet.

Well I was glad when the UPS truck delivered my plane (I was surprised at the size of the box) but am sort of disappointed with the hatch that goes over the wing as the magnets on the hatch have come out of the cover and the cover is kicked up at the front I think I will have to add some extra magnets to the front of the cover so it will sit flush. I am happy with the plane and look forward to customizing it along with changing out the "drag strip tires" to a normal style plane wheel.

Here's a dumb question - are you cutting off that chunk of foam that's sticking out of the bombardier's position, so you'll have a flat surface to stick the photo onto? :Confused:

Hey guys - I removed the four wing-mount screws (used an electric drill, it takes only 3,000 revolutions to get them out, I think they're 2 inches long)... anyway the wing would not come off.
Is it glued? Have any of you removed the wing? Should I just pull harder and pray that nothing breaks?Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.

Guess I'm the unlucky first b26 fatality.. :(. She seemed too tail heavy even after I checked her,.not even sure what I did wrong. I kept speed up in the turn and then she just snapped over. She was snapping out of loops too. The turn this happened on was not even aggressive at all. Really felt like a hand full in flight. Really scary1 Photo

Wow.... I am really sorry that happened... How was your elevator throw? Did you have any expo in it? Not asking for any reason other than to figure out what happened.... CG was good? Bummer Bro....
I had a Zero that was so touchy even with a bit nose-heavy CG, that if I didn't limit the throws and have 60% expo, it was a snap-a-matic...
