Nice start Terri,

I’m keen to see how these kits turn out...

Rick , Edo , Juan and Guy . Thanks for dropping by with encouragement  :)

Edo , steal away !


Well today was rather productive in front of the bench . I put on some Heldmaschine and rock out one would say . Engine halves are join and the cylinder tops in place with rest of the parts cleaned up and black based for the start of the metal painting . Cowl has been black based as well . This will need a few days to fully dry . If not the Vallejo metal paint will from cracks later on . Learn't my lesson using these paints the first time , will not make it again . All the cockpit parts ( I think ) are freed and waiting clean up while the black basing dries .

This is taking great shape, Terri. I completely agree about letting the black undercoat dry completely... been there, done that, brought out the paint stripper...! Regards, Marc

Thanks for following along guys  :)

Progress is coming along buy it is taking me a bit longer then what I was figuring on . Having to wear glass now it has been a learning curve on getting my eyes to adjust

The parts have their colour coats on with detailing painting to start next . Wooden areas are ready to go and the shine will be toned down once the weathering and final sealant coats are on . Engine is also set for weathering , working on the spark leads now but not pictured yet .
