DH-108 Swallow progress is slow

Nothing fits for crap on this kit. I have been laying in glue fillets and sanding for a week to get here.

Now it needs some tissue packing and some black primer.

Gee, it must be an AMT kit, huh? [:D][:D] I’m building an AMT kit right now (F7F), and the fit leaves a lot to be desired.

Hang on there, Buddy, I know you’ll master it…!

That’s gotta be tough, aligning those wings (are they butt-joints?) without a tail for reference of horizontal. You’re a braver man than me ! Good luck !

They are all butt joints. The most fun was drilling it for pins and getting it to line up. Even at best I had more than 1/16th of an inch variance at one point. I have an ARBA Wespe in the stash also and am really afraid to open that box now.

Keep going at least you not too manay other people out there have built one…

…well not and lived!

Hang in there Swanny! I can only imagine the frustration, but I’m sure in the end she will be beautiful!

We’re all waiting for the masterpiece that we know it will be Swanny… you’ll get it!
