Yeah, the Speeder could almost be a greeblie on this one!

Thanks for the kind words DBHS and Jase- I'm looking forward to this one. It's BIG, it's a damn nice piece to start with and the client has turned me loose on the kind of things I like to do! That's when you're really lucky- when a project all falls in place like that!

With the cockpit halves in place and clamped slightly you can see how snug everything is now. There are no gaps between the wing mounts and the newly sleeved armature with the white styrene visible.




Now the outer wing mounts will be another story. It's as if the two part molds weren't fully seated or the resin raised them apart as curing? They're considerably "thicker" than their counterparts and will require sanding on the inside to get them thinner and "round" where they join.
