| This sanding block I picked up at home depot has really helped me cover a lot of surface area. Keeps my hands from getting tired. |

| I drew on a centerline LIGHTLY with a pencil and measured where things should be. Then I used one of the plastic bomb bay doors from the kit as a template to draw on the doors.Next I used a regular piece of paper, which has perfect 90* angles, with one edge taped on the centerline to establish where the line going around the fuselage is.I marked lightly with lencil about three guide marks and then used a piece of flexible plastic to draw on the line. Lines. With these lines as reference the ones remaining to be added will be easier to establish. |

| The landing gear doors were cut from the bottom engine nacelle before it was assembled. To reattach I "hung" them with a short piece of masking tape taped to the backside of the door and that allows enough support so the door can then be braced a bit with a finger inside the nacelle while a small amount of CA is applied to the junction. As soon as it cures enough to hold by itself a short piece of styrene rod was laid on the junction. The CA is still wet enough to hold the rod in place but I gave it an overall application just to make sure. You can see how it blends in. I've used this method before and I would prefer to hide the rod but this time I couldn't. |
