Wonderful work Przemol.  Your detail work and photography are very inspiring.

The Lozenge will really make the scheme pop even more! Lovely work!

Very nice work. Those decals look really cool. For some reason, I find the stencilling really appealing and for some reason it brings the model to life. Aviattic put a lot of effort into getting all those little details correct and I really think it pays off.

It is still to be seen.  ;)

I fully agree. They add a lot of life, despite being so tiny. I still have to work a bit with MicroSol on them to remove spots of silvering.

Looking Fantastic! The turnbuckles look challenging to Me but for you will be just routine!

Propulsion unit mounted!
Funny enough, I have not glued the engine, only the prop is attached to it and the whole set can rotate, as if it was ordinary rotary. I know it is not correct for the bi-rotary SSh engine. But it will allow me to present the model with various prop orientations. And I can still pour CA glue to make it fixed, if I am bored with it ;)

I'm surprised Richard didn't include a tiny 3D printed gearbox to enable the motor and prop to rotate in opposite directions :D

You're making great progress,
