Thanks guys. Just about done the little jobs. Prepping the clear parts before a Future bath and but prepping I mean working my keester off cleaning up the flash. The worst was the windscreen...
All the other clear parts had flash as well but to a lesser degree. Note the lack frames on the windscreen
Good stuff Geo.

Still waiting for masks but I did some little stuff. Snapped off what I'm assuming is a gear cover attachment point while cleaning mold seams so I added one from wire. I'll paint it up before I catch the camp bus today
Masks is a good idea Geo...
Good work so far George!

Mojo is gone, a few issues with the clear parts. One may be fixable, the other maybe not. The worst us the clear part over the turtle deck, too narrow. It isn't short shot as the rear part lines up with the fuselage, being the same height. The pilot's canopy is lop-sided but I think I can add some plastic strip to it. I'll see what happens

Thanks gents but here's the stopping block. Both sides are too narrow yet it fits perfectly fore and aft. Its so narrow that I lost count of how many times I tried to get it to sit on the fuselage for these photos
The other issue, the canopy is also a tad narrow but can be sledgehammered into place. Its the little things that throw me off of completion. Having said that, as I'm looking at the photo now, I could add some narrow strip along the bottom, sand the back side to match the fuselage and then run white glue along the edges to match the fuselage there. Today will not be that day though

Damned ! I don't remember having this problem (Revell kit). Maybe the Falcon Clear-Vax set n°7: US Navy, World War II, part 1 is a solution ?
