Looking great Ken! You could always use a bit of Tamiya Extra Thin Cement on those stubborn Decal  ::)

Thank you, Frank.  But an Engineer first, Artist second.

Gary, as they say, discretion is the better part of valor.  More true nearing the end of a build.

Rick, that's Monty Python mosquito hunting crazy!   ;D

Thanks for commenting, guys.

Looks great!  I'm glad you didn't mask over the decals.  Bad Ju Ju, that.
There are only two states to be in:  Queensland and blotto.

Doing some fiddly detail work that seems to take forever.


Control cables to the elevator.





Replaced some bolts and fasteners on the cowling that were taken off earlier, along with a test fit of the exhaust pipe.

That sure looks great, Ken. Really like how the tones of wood have come out on the fuselage. And those nail heads really set this thing apart. Your details on the control cable ends are exceptional.
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Rick, Zac, WD, and Gary.
I still have some touching up and washes to do around the details, but it's getting done slowly due to limited bench time.

Great results. Those wood panels with all the detail are truly eye catching.

  I've been following (and admiring) your progress on this Build Ken, and will borrow a word from Gary's comments above, "exceptional"!! The details, finish, and the overall quality of your model are all very impressive, wonderful work start to finish and a real pleasure to follow along!
Cheers,
Lance

Ken that will be a beautiful Albie once finished!
I can't remember ever seeing such a factory-new plane as a model.

Cheers,
Frank
