| "Passt!" The call of a german drill sergeant, when he handed you a helmet you could hide in. The meaning is "it fits"! ![]() ![]() Now it was time to do the cowlflaps. I'm not too satisfied with the result. I leaf the cowl detachable to come back some day and do better ones. ![]() The cowl got some paint to evaluate its fit. In the background you can see a green bottle which contains the most important means for the serious modeller. "Jever Pils" a very good bitter beer to calm the nerves. ![]() The filler I spray from time to time does not last long. There is always the need to sand again.

| At first I used the old A-wing and sawed off the wheelwell. The upper wing partly came from the old Revell because of the better details of the cannon covers, Hasegawas looking more like kidneys. Well when Goofy is around you'll ruin all. I missmeasured and upper and lower wing didn't fit. There was a large discrepancy in the wingroots. The dehedral was different too. This was a very critical moment. Should I give up? Or drink one more beer and try again? post-6446-1236703542.jpg

| Well I got two beers and counted my new tool Doras and found I had aquired 5. The effect when you don't book your buys. So I decided to use the wings of the new kit having inner detail I didn't have to make from scratch. I have no picture from the wingconstruction. This is the finished wing. ![]() down under:
