Thanks mate. I reckon I got them pretty good, I'd been checking under the light, if you wet the surface a bit then angle in the light you can usually pick up any imperfections. It's had 3 treatments of super glue and a final one of white putty.

I thought exactly the same thing and I'm now on my 3rd round of filling and sanding :cry: :cry: :cry:

Still working on the fuselage. The windscreen is in, along with the lower gear bay panel. I've decided to do a wheels up model, so I've got a stand and next will be the nose wheel doors. Engine cowlings are not great and I'm not really liking this silver plastic.

She is coming along nicely young Brad.
Mate, as you aren't using your gear on this build, is it possible that I could have your spare undercarriage components, as my 2nd build needs an undercarriage, (she is a refurb and I have no gear for her).
Thanks

The Hertz one. This is looking better than the Argy 737 due to doing a few things differently.

I found the engine nacelles don't fit very well.

Yeah they're not the best. But that's why they invented filler :lol: :lol: :lol:
