After a less than stellar week it was nice to get back to some modelling. It was mostly working on the Ki61. I have a couple of small issues to tidy up. The wing root join on the underside needed a two stage PSR cycle to get that sorted and a few small parts needed tidying up to get it nearly read for painting. Last up is the U/C area with the wheels needing finishing off still. Getting the hub/rubber interface to work is still ongoing. I think I’m up to at least my third coat on the rubber portion and the gear legs still.need sone painting. Lastly is the aerial which just doesn’t want to sit properly so another round of Milliput was needed. The last bit is eating up a bit of effort.
Nothing much else got done apart from listening to the Just Making Conversation podcast on Mojo.

Over the week I’ve been opening up some of my storage boxes and having a good kit fondle and discovering some gems, some started and some yet to be. More on this later.

And yes it’s cold, time for the winter jacket as I model in a garage.
