Szymon,
    I can't believe the detail you've achieved here, particularly the engine and framing. I agree with Rhinocrat, you've achieved a new level; I believe this is the most realistic detail and weathering I've seen here or elsewhere.
   My compliments on truly outstanding work, and I look forward to following you along with the rest of your Build.
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks for the compliments, I have to something spoil, this you stop so praises me  :)
And now another update, before closing the fuselage, I tested interior lozenge decals from AVIATTIC, which I received from Richard in Telford- Richard, thank you once again.
I tested weathering under decals - heavy version and light version. Aviattic decal is firmly transparent, so be careful of weathering. This gives, however, very interesting effects. AVIATTIC decals  imposed perfectly, very well rest against.

I really like that! But I wonder, would the data panel really show through to the inside like that? I thought it was painted over the dope, which would seal it from bleeding through... ? ? ? ? ?

Anyway, looks fantastic, congrats

Hello Simon.

The thread title indicates that the scale must be 1/32, but the photos almost make me believe something else!  Wonderful work and thank you so much for sharing it.

Best wishes

It is truly a master project under construction, Szymon. Is it going to be ready for Bytom Festival? I would very much like to see it in real!

Wonderful work, Simon.  The cockpit is amazing.  I am wondering about the
turkbuckles.  Did you make them yourself?  Thank you for sharing your
talents with us.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

It's a stunning master piece. Just wondering with this beautiful weathering of the fuselage insides if you are going to do something with the seat cushion?

Ivo
