The boom assembly looks Terrific with the paint applied. Lovely wood struts!

The wood finish on the struts is incredibly realistic.

Thank you friends!!  :)

Today, work on the vertical stabilizer and the rudder.



I deliberately accentuated the oil marking...  ;D












The horizontal stabilizer is not fixed yet. It must be a little weathered.

A bientôt from New-Caledonia...!

Very convincing weathering.  Nice work.  The booms look great, too.

I agree completely with Ken! The oil staining is Most Impressive!

That looks as mucky as one would expect from an oily pusher flying from a muddy airfield, great work!

Yes those rotary engines pushed out a great deal of oil - you have made your rudder look very dirty in an appropriate fashion. Excellent.

How great to see such a rare bird built. It’s just one of two or so gunbusses I‘ve ever seen being built. And both look amazing.

You did a remarkable work on this with lots of detailing and additions, and translucent CDL is terrific. Looking forward to see this rare bird completed.

Hello!!

Thank you very much!  :) It's very friendly




This model is really difficult...  :-X

I still worked on the horizontal stabilizer.















I don't know if it is better to brace before fixing on the wings....  :-\

Cheers,

Arnaud
