• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Thanks for the encouragement Snuffy - I appreciate it. Well - if I add a 'wing' to this house it might qualify for this thread..
 
the nose and tail cone are glued on and faired into the fuselage. Next step is the cockpit cover.
The plan is to cut out the windows, attach the clear acetate to the inside of the window frames, then mask them, frames and windows, on the exterior. At that point the cover can be
attached to the fuselage to be faired and smoothed into the main structure. It'll take careful sanding and filling to get that part to look as if it was part of the fuselage assembly from the start, and not plopped on top, like it does now.
 
near final surface preparation for the aircraft has begun - several stages include layering filler on, sanding it away, and brushing sealant on and sanding it away - at least four or five repetitions - until the surfaces are
smooth and glossy. Then comes the large part assembly into the DC-3 we all know and love. The LG will be left off until after all the other steps - primer, paint, decals, clearcoat etc - are done.
Still a long way to go.
