    Looking good Bob. Light use of the sanding stick/pads to rmove the seams. Let the sanding stick do the work, not the other way around.

      For some reason I am struggling with this build, all those seams :tired: not sure which way to glue the wings?

      I have tried running glue along the edges but the brush slipped a few times or bit by bit then pegs???

      But back on with it :thinking:

        Bob i use a really thin, fast drying cement and allow it to go along the seam by capillary action. When it's applied then squeeze the joins together to make it stick and ooze out a little. That way you can then sand it to a nice flush join.
