Nice work on the Lozenge Terri! I am sure you will meet the challenge of covering those struts!

Terri,
can't remember, where I find it (may be Datafile?), but I left the sockets of the struts in wooden color.

Mark , Ken , Rick , Frank , Andreas thanks for the continuing encouraging comments . They mean a lot  :)

Mark , This is has been a bit more challenging than my last SSW build . The last mishap was my own doing  ;) . What will be annoying is doing the control surfaces . The lozenge bolts are wide enough .  :-\

Frank , you are correct the sockets are left in their natural wood state , but varnished .


More pics coming to a thread near you .....

Well Ken , rib tapes are done on upper and lower surfaces and everything has a clear coat to seal it all in . Even got the national markings applied as well . I'm on roll Rick ! ;) While this is drying I can turn my attention back to the smaller bits ...

Thanks Steve , almost finish with the struts , decals are drying and a few more details and touch ups . Then back to the engine and get that finished off .
I also notice that I totally forgot to drill the holes for the rigging  :-[  OPPS !

Okay , it has been a good week for being in front of the bench . Engine is finished and installed . Motor mount is from a trashed Eduard build . One that is supplied in the kit didn't fit after mods were done to the cowl . Eduards was perfect ! All struts are ready to go and under carriage as well and yes all mounting holes and rigging holes for the turnbuckles are done . Wish I would have remembered to do this earlier in the build , would have been a hell off a lot easier ! Also added a wash and every thing can get a coat of dull coat for the second round of weathering and then it's off to gluing it all together  :)
