Hey Aaron got a question since you paint.What is the exact difference between Lacquer thinner and lets say thinner.I use enamel paints with lacquer thinner in a medium dry time am I wrong?I have not seen any drastic effect persay but I have seen some seperation of thinner from the paint if I let it sit to long.Thks in advance.Kevin

Thank you Peter.
Javlin, I have seen people mix lacquer with enamel to thin it and have not seen anything bad come from it but it is my understanding that it can cause some serious problems if you have to go back and touch it up, such as what they call crazing which is the paint will wrinkle up. And it may cause layer separation, but like I've said earlier, I have not seen any problems from it. I don't use lacquer on cars except for guide coat so. With the enamel paint that I use on the models I just bring home some of the urethane reducer that we have at the shop. It is not as aggressive as the lacquer thinner and is made to work with enamel so I'm pretty sure unless I screw up on my pre-paint-prep I won't have a problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but not having done what your doing I don't know to much about it but I will make a note to ask my paint rep and see what he says about it for I am curious to know also.
This word "urethane reducer " will help alot Aaron will look this morning to see if we got it in the store,I am sure we do.Aaron javlin=kevin

It is the same thing they sell at the hobby shops as enamel thinner, sorry, I should have explained that.
Ok folks, I have been working on fitting the cockpit into the fuselage since yesterday and have finally gotten it to where I can accept the way it all fits now so here it is. Please let me know what I have missed or overlooked. I left the wing brace loose as I'm not sure as to how it should sit in the fuselage. At the moment it is just sitting in the bottom of the slot, but it may have to be forced up a bit or all the way. Not sure. The turret is extremely loose fitting. Maybe once I get the canopy fitted to it it will tighten up a bit. I did some searching on a couple of review forums and they brought up the fact that the nose cone does not fit properly so I'm going to put it together as I attach it to the nose. This way maybe I won't have a large seem to fill.(HOPEFULLY)

Looking very good indeed Aaron.
From what I remember of my Boston, which is basically the same kit, the wing spar sits loose, and tightens when the wings are fitted. It still 'floats' as far as I remember, but supports the wing internally.
Coming along nicely Aaron
Coming along just nicely Aaron!
