Hi all,
The basic internal fuselage is now finished.
The model will be made with both wings attached.
I've added a spark advance control and both throttle cable and gun triggers cables.
The engine oil tank and the two machine gun need to be fitted, but only after the fuselage is closed up.
I'm replacing the kit supplied machine guns with 'GasPatch' resin weapons,

That's some really sharp detail, Mike.

Hi all,
I've closed up the fuselage now and added the Radiator assembly, tail plane and rudder.
I've also completed the weapons fit, having replaced the kit machine guns with equivalents from 'GasPatch'.
That required some heavy modifications to the gun mountings parts,

Hi all,
I've painted the airframe now.
This particular aircraft had a 'Tiger Stripe' metal panel strip finish.
This appears to have been alternate Aluminium polished and non-polished panel strips.
This was done by masking and airbrushing 'Alclad' Duraluminium and Steel.
The rudder was just primed with white.
Next is painting fuselage details before adding the landing gear etc.

The Machine Guns look great as does the painting on the wings and fuselage! Beautiful finish Mike!
