Continuing work on my 1/144 Lincoln conversion is making headway even on X-mas. I think I have all the additional plastic added to start the sanding and shaping stage, including the longer chord rudders. It’s a pretty good size bigger than the Lanc, especially those wings! 
On a side, X-mas was good, girlfriend got me a 1/16 RC Tiger tank that I have been chasing the cat around with for as long as the batteries hold out, all day. Charge, chase- charge, chase.
You have quite an interesting bird going on there. How do you plan on sanding your plugs? coarse paper and a lot of patience?
The coarsest sanding sticks I could muster from the clutter on the desk, and many many breaks. As this thing progress’ I think I might get another Lanc to convert to a Manchester. Time will tell.
And I hate sending puddy LOL
Looking good, keep it up
