Hello! Wanted to share my progress with the group.

Just primer here on the cockpit interior. Hindsight what it is, I feel like I should have masked off the exterior, I did not.

I glued the tail on and painted the interior colors. This was before weathering. I also overestimated my ability to paint the instrument panel so it won't be much to look at. After this I gloss coated the interior, did an oil wash (first time ever!), and then sealed it.

Not much to look at but there were a couple spots I wanted to touch up on the interior. From there I glued the two fuselage halves together and used some Frog Tape to try and hold it together. I will be getting some clamps! I also assembled the wings.
Fingers crossed that tomorrow the seam won't be too bad and I'll be getting started on the glass. Going for an open cockpit and I want to try masking off the clear parts.
