Hallo fellows modelers,
after some time I was kept away from the workbench I started over again, although not yet at full steam....

Here are some pics of the completed tail sub assembly:



I thought a lot aboput how to let the wire go through the booms / struts but the piece was so thin I preferred not to pierce it in any way.
So I passed the line "around" the booms, it's not the best but it's not very evident, unless one magnifies the pictures !!!

Then I added that sort of sield to the top edge of the engine housing, the top of the nacelle was not correctly shaped in the kit


I inserted the eyelets in the lower wing (where shown by the arrows)


on the bottom of the inner struts there are at least 4 lines going through so I prepared myself bigger eyelets to let all those wires go through






Last thing I did was the pitot tube:


this is my try, too small to get it better than this...


... painted


That's all for now

Ciao!

Antonio

Finished!!!!!

Here are some pix on a light background to let us perceive the rigging...






And some shoots on her base













Well it took me 4 months and a lot of fatigue for my eyes, but all in all the result is satisfactory to me.
I know there are a lot of errors, but the big picture shows better than the details as usual!!!!

That's all folks!

Thanks for your attention

Antonio
