Thanks so much, guys!  The engine is nearly finished.  Just have to add the carburetor linkage and the ignition harness and a bit more weathering.  Or maybe not.  I believe on this one, I'll have the cowling closed up.  Not sure yet.


I've also completed the interior wood work and have begun painting and assembling the office.  Before putting it all in there, I have to add the wire bracing.

This being Mother's Day weekend, I doubt I'll get much done, but I'll try.
Cheers,
Bud

Looking beautiful Bud.  That engine looks to be larger than 1/48 due to the detail of it.  Happy Mother's Day to the women in your life.

Excellent progress, Bud!

And a great idea with preshading the interior sidewalls beneath the rigging, hope you do not mind if I copy it. ;)

Cheers

Very nice progress Bud. I am glad for you, 48th scale builders, that after the WNW golden era for 32nd scale your time has finally come, too, to get some really fine, new (and enviable) models released. Enjoy this and bring us more of your fine modelling work to admire!

Thank you for the kind comments, my friends!  Been putting in a lot of time at work lately, so bench hours have suffered.  Still plodding along, though.  Fuselage halves are ready to go together.


And the instrument panel is finished, ready to go into place.


These instrument decals are the best and most forgiving I've ever used.  I had no problem positioning them exactly where I wanted them and even the tiniest is clear and readable.
Cheers,
Bud

Great start Bud, I really love your progress. To preshade the rigging is a really clever idea. I'll follow closely from now.
