you could also press in some lightweight spackle into the worse parts

That's not a bad idea! The primer i have was made for cars, so it's thicker than the usual stuff, hoping it'll have the same effect.

Beautiful! the ta152 is one of the best looking "Superprop" fighters In my opinion

Talking about super prop fighters, wasn't it an English prop driven plane that first shot down a Jet Sea Fury WJ232 I believe and it was a MIG- 15 he shot down during the Korean war.

Believe so, still the fastest production single-engine prop plane in the world.Talking about super prop fighters, wasn't it an English prop driven plane that first shot down a Jet

My favorite "Superprop", has to be the spitfire 47, beautiful airplane

Figured i'd share my build process as well, now that i'm basically done with everything except electronics and paint.
CAD model, tricky shape, very fun. (Mid july)
To be honest, i don't remember much of the process, just made the shape using 3-axis reference pictures, then hollowed it out (making sure to also have a solid model for internal structure)
By the end of July i had the wings and nose section completed.
And after that i just finished the fuselage.
For about seven months my local hobby store did not have any carbon fibre tubes or similar in store, so i waited, and i finally got them somewhere mid march
Just sanding a lot, i think it's pretty fun, you get to turn something not smooth, into something very smooth.
Decided to make a custom propeller, not meant for flying but for visual purposes. It turned out really nice and i'll do some tests too see if it actually can take the centrifugal forces.
So, now i'm basically finished:
2826 980kv Brushless (May go bigger, made a universal motor mount for that specific reason)
2200mAh 4s 25c LiPo.
Standard 9.3g servos
Can't find my scale so idk the weight, it's heavy.
Wingspan: 890mm
Total length: 897mm
