Engine is looking great, are the pusher rods from the kit? They look so finely moulded I was wondering if you'd use brass tube or rod.

.., are the pusher rods from the kit? They look so finely moulded I was wondering if you'd use brass tube or rod.

No, the manufacturer provided them in flat form on PE part. I have used the rod, but do not remember where those came from..

Some additional interior work..

Beautiful interior! I Love your color choices. It is a shame how much is covered up when the upper fuselage gets attached!

KrzysiekK and smperry,

I noticed you mentioned masks for the 5 color camo.  Where do those come from. I've not heard of them before. They would be a great help with painting the camo.

Thanks,
Mike

That interior looks sweet!

Mike, that is a Gaspatch model, so you can find the masks also in the Gaspatch shop in two varinats:

Good Day

Not much done since last update. Fuselage is closed, sanded and primed. The undercarriage was enhanced to support well whole structure, which seems to be significant per 48 scaling



the scheme painting has started!!

Looking good! Nice work on the pins in the gear. That should add a lot of support to the model! I am looking forward to seeing the paint go on!

I'm amazed you can  pin so neatly.  I have a heck of a time with 1/32 scale.

[RichieW]

Very precise work pinning the struts, this is going to be very special. Looking forward to seeing some colour now.

K, that is a very good progress. Looks really nice!
I see a little bit of putty, but the fit seems to be ok.

I am sorry that I have not commented until now but somehow I have missed this. You have made an amazing start with super detail - modelling of the very highest standard here. I shall endeavour to follow more closely in future.

Great to see work on this lovely model. I do not build this scale but I had a chance to have both this and WNW kits at the same time in my hands and the comparison was very positive for the Gaspatch one.
You have done an excellent start, fingers crossed for the camo application :-)
