I finally got the engine done . Kept getting side tracked with other kit parts seeking attention  ;) Also made start on the panels  using art pencil with two different colours alternating between planks then blending it together a bit with a q-tip and that is as far as I have gotten .

Hi guys , thank-you very much for the king comments and the ongoing encouragement  8)

Dan , the N-16 and 17 are my favorite French fighters and so far this build is nothing but smiles ! :)


Today's step was to start airbrushing the clear layers . I first thinned down some Tamiya smoke for oil staining along the bottom of the panels and up around the hatches , this was followed by many layers of Tamiya clear yellow . Struts and wind screen parts are also painted up as well . Metal bands on the struts still need to painted ...and the the weathering can begin .
