Hello All,

These are the last pictures of assembly. All parts are ready for implementation, so within few days the bird (rather hummingbird) will be ready for its first flight to the glass cabinet:) (probably it will be its last one as well)
The prop finishing was last problematic thing to be solved, but thanks to PrzemoL this was unveiled




regards
K

All of your decaling and construction is crisp and clean... Very sharp looking bird! The Lozenge really sets off the wooden fuselage!

Beautiful! I have to ask, how did you achieve that amazing metal finish on the cowl?

Agreed with all the comments. I do LOVE the lozenge against that wood fuse.  Looks super.

It will look great with all the markings on!

Thanks, K. I have those powders too, but I've only used them on small metal bits like machine guns. I'll have to try larger areas.
