I've started the rectification process on this & have some parts* ready to (hopefully) create better fairings but, as I'm on night shifts for a while, there won't be much happening for a few days, at least.

If you think that's what you think they are then I think your probably right 😉😉😊

Ten days?! :o

Finally, I've had a chance to do a tiny bit more work & fit the fairings. :party:

First round of putty should happen on them tonight. :thumbsup:

Yup, time flies, especially at this time of year. For those who haven't noticed Crimbo is just around the corner  :angel:

Trust me Chris ive noticed..hate this time of year..everything goes nuts and it's impossible to get anything done ...models included.
I primed my GB bird what 2 or 3 days ago and haven't touched it since..very depressing.

Got the first round of sanding done tonight.

I'll get some primer on tomorrow, although I already know there are a few spots that need more filler.

Once I've finished the fairings & got the final primer coat on I'll take some pic's ... not worth the effort, otherwise. :thumbsup:

1st round of primer has happened on the new fairings, & they're looking pretty good.

Do need to do some more work, though, & photo's will happen after I'm happy with them. :thumbsup:

Some sort of bacterial URTI happening right now, possibly masking a viral URTI (NOT COVID) - but we'll see when the antibiotics have kicked in.

Anyway, I'm finding it almost impossible to concentrate on fine detail stuff like this, so I'm leaving it until things improve*.
