Sorry. I spent two whole days filling and sanding around the cockpit area, and I'm still not satisfied with the finish there. The last two days were spent mounting some things on the lower engine housing and trying to adjust the wholes so I can put in the oversized control horns. Today I experimented with the leather cockpit combing. All of these things are giving me fits, and slowing the progress. Add to that the frustration of not making the 100th anniversary deadline and I'm having real problems keeping my interest up.

There won't be any crew, as this will be a display model, and not for gaming. I'm also at odds with myself over what rigging material I'm going to use. I bought some new stuff called EZ-Line, which stretches and is almost unbreakable, but I'm still kind of favoring the nylon line I've been using all along. We'll see how it goes.
