Cant get Photobucket to work tonight, so not many pics to post.  I didnt get too much done today anyway, just some filling and sanding of some rough spots that showed up.  I repainted in a silver primer to find more stuff to fill and sand tomorrow.

I worked on the canopy a bit.  I want a one-piece canopy, so I glued the canopy and windshield of a Typhoon together and sanded the frame smooth.  Since there's nothing to do about the line where the sections are glued, I'll probably paint the canopy black like Ian and Tophe do.  I cut zig-zag LO shapes into the front and back of the canopy, though it's not too visible in the pics since the whole airframe is silver.

Anyway, here are a couple for tonight...

And just to show that youcan even whiff a whiff, here is what happens when you turn a high-wing carrier capable stealth platform upside down and put the canopy over the nosegear well-you get a low-wing high-speed, high-altitude strike machine with retractable ventral stabilizers for high-mach flight...

Is that a shot glass? I think I've found the key to more imaginative whiffing......

Too cool, I'm amazed that such cool original ideas can be created from the same basic raw materials.
