More work sanding and filling and sanding over the last few days. Very hard to regain the curves at the front edge of the fuse where the cowls fit - be careful not to lose the molded curves next time.
The engine arrived from Queensland this week. So the next step is to flip the aircraft over, set it on its gear and fit the engine. All the gear will need assembling first. And the hangar (ie garage) will need rearranging so the fuselage fits in with the engine attached.
