Looking Great, Alexis! The weathering is beautifully done... the amount, position, texture, it's all there and authentic... I'm impressed! ATB, Marc.

Thanks Marc ! Sorry for the late reply back this thing called life keeps getting in the way .

Not much for progress but I have started adding the attachment points for the rigging and while doing that I wanted to get the cab struts mounted or ready to be mounted only to have a head srcatcher and something I should have paid more focus to . But it was one of those moments at time and I pressed forward only to have come back and bite me .

For the struts to mount correctly the opening in the fuselage covers need to be opened up . This is not an easy task for the oil tank is right behind this . So far this is were I'm at and still needs clean up and paint touch ups .

Moving along quite well Alexis! Cleaning out the strut locations looks difficult. Nice to know so that if I ever do one of these perhaps I will be able to do this Before assembly !

Oh my Alexis, that is very nice. Your weathering on this build is spot on. I'm taking notes

Cheers,

Looking very nice indeed!
The last stages to completion seem to take forever.
I don't think we ever complete a model as we are always finding more detail to add. Rather we just stop working on it

Well now your just making me blush ! Thanks for the comments guys

It's funny Brad , I take notes following your builds

So I managed to take two steps forward and finished placing the rest of the eyelets in the lower wing top side . Upper under wing is next . managed to break tail strut on the fuselage , new one was made and is under painting .

Cab struts now fit like the should . It was easier once I removed the oil pan and tank out out of the way . File work went quick after that and the parts are easly put back afterwards .

Brilliant stuff

I may have said it before, but it bears repeating - those oil stained fabric wings look fantastic
