Hi folks!
Thanks everybody for looking and commenting...
I made some small advancements during the WE:
Thank you Mark,
here is some steps ahead made during this weekend:

I decided to made a new tail skid from scratch, the provided in the box (on the left in the pic) was unacceptable to me.
On the right is my tail skid, it's overall 1 cm long and the zoom was so high that the quality of the image turned out bad.
The skid will be painted and completed once glued below the fuselage: the metal piece fixing it to the metalworks on the tail is still missing.

Here is the radiator, I painted with flat aluminum to make it come out of the dark background painted in Tamiya Burnt Iron.
I added the brass rim closing the hole in the metal grid opening around the prop hub and added the top water tank cork as well.

Top wooden panels and metal engine cowling were painted


Just a couple of shots of the IP just to remember the work done !



I decided to add the leather trim on the cockpit opening. I used a thin plastic pipe painted with vallejo leather colour
Goodnight everybody!
