Here's a picture of the Bedard CN SD40. Primed with grab irons attached. I will hold off on attaching the pilots until the shell is painted, the less masking the better.

@dandopinski

That's a great idea keeping the ends off until after painting... will have to steal that ;)

It was a learning process, when I got my first 3D shells I was in a rush to assemble them to see how everything fit, not seeing the problems that would cause. Now I work on the pieces individually before final assembly.

Decaling is done except for the black on the top of the nose. Don't worry about the bubbles on the decals, they are easy to remove. Next on the agender is handrails, I will try to graft Kato handrails and failing that I'll be bending wire....
