Bit more done and a bit more started .

The gun is being hack up and will use bit's and bobs from the Tom Model Works set to dress up the gun . WNW gun breach is slightly better then Rodens .

The cockpit padding I wasn't to sure how to actually make this and after sending a bit of time on line , it looks like most DH-2 's had this hasmap applied so it doesn't need to be perfect . To build this up I'm using Mr surface 1000 which has gone pretty thick , but still thins with thinner . Once this is done the holding clips will be added . While the putty was out I gave the fabric corners a quick brush as well for a wrinkle effect or taunt appearance , it doesn't have to be pronounced but rather match how I did the effect on the inside of the fuselage .

The sheets which cover wear the tail booms meet the wings , nail detail was added as well . and that is all for this up-date .
Thanks for following along

Your added details like the coaming and plates at the boom attachment point are really going to make this an awesome build!

Thanks Marc and Ian

My plan on hacking up the gun didn't fair well and I really made a mess of it all and had to junk the parts . Feeling rather down on myself on not paying attention to what I was doing . It was walk away and pout . Digging through the parts bin low and behold , a WNW replacement was found ! Yippie !!!! . Being a bit more careful this time around the gun is together and awaits paint . Even found the wind screen which I thought I lost . The barrel was cut off and replaced with brass tubing .

Another detail being added is the hinge detail for the ailerons , so far the lower left side is finished . Sitting there looking at the tail parts , hinge detail was added to these parts , leaving the wings rather plan in this area . The pins are a flexible brass wire so adjustments can be made latter on .
