I was not happy with the representatio of the wodden hatch so i did it again...
The metallic part around the codckpit was not low enough and I retake it too...



I pass a surfacer coat; comparing with the situation at the begining , it is quite better!



It's time for the rivets....

Xan



Trois options : poinçonneuse, rivets archer et riveteuse.
 je vais certainement faire les gros rivets à l'archer et le petit à la riveteuse...
pour les attaches de la trappe latérale on verra.

  There's some really fascinating and impressive good old fashioned "real" model building going on here Xan, it's a pleasure to follow your progress! Richie said it well, "master modelling"!

Very impressive work on mediocre kits. It shows me how much I was spoilt by excellence of WNW kits...
I will be watching this thread with great interest.

Superb Modeling for sure! You are building two kits that I ultimately FAILED at and doing an amazing job!
