Excellent work on fabricating the engine parts. All looks awesome so far!

 Rick,
Many thanks my old friend. Still working on her engine at present. In a temporary fit of insanity I decided to add plug wiring,starting to wish I hadn't. Using 42 GA. wire just doesn't look right.

Your path on how you are doing the details is an excellent choice . Since only the top half of the engine will be seen , unless you open up a few panels . Your details so far are super  8)

Great choice Gregory! a lot of interesting paint schemes to choose from.

I built the same kit and I think the weakest part of it is the wing fabric representation. The infamous "hills and valleys" effect.

Looking forward to seeing more.

 Claudio,
Thank you my friend. Your comments are much appreciated. The " Hill and Valleys" effect is all too true.

I am a bit slow as per usual Gregory - so please be patient. I really like your choice of subject - one of the less well known types. A fantastic start showing your usual attention to very fine detail. I am looking forward to dropping by in future to see how this progresses.
