You had a ton of sanding Paolo, but you pulled it off.
Wings look great!  Thanks for the update.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hello Paolo:

This is coming along nicely.  Once you are commited to the plastic strips for the ribbing you managed to pull it off nicely.

I especially like your work on the fuselage and the tail surfaces.  Looks the business.

Best

thank you all, gents!

after some considering about how to go ahead, I jumped in another mask session, this time less complicated:
5496

it's worth to note that attaching the new mask before detaching the complementary is fundamental to follow the curves.
5498

et voilĂ ! where I made a mess with ribs, added some patches done with masking tape. mmmmmmmh... maybe I should have made all the ribs with tape, it looks pretty on scale!!
5500

patches retouched "ton sur ton" and very light washing.
5504

and here after a session of oil dots.
5507

same story with the underside. here just the left has been worked, just to see the difference.
5505

oil everywhere, and decals.
5508

comments/suggestions/doubts/crisis/anxiety are welcomed, I'm not sure that's the right way...
bye, p. ;)

A lot of hard work, but it sure paid off, Paolo.  The wings look
terrific!  The colours are great. Well done!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

thank you all very much...
actually, looking closely, it is not a first class work (nor second, also...)
5524
5525

today a little upgrading. glued on the lower wing and the fairings.
5517

5518

a nightmare, to align and lock all properly... wnw, where are you???
5519

tomorrow I'll start to correct with colors and decals those last panels.


at now, just restored the tail.
5523
interesting to see how much changes it with and without the last coat of future + white!

bye bye, p. ;)

It's really taking shape now, Paolo. I have to say
the close-up photos of the fuselage have me just
drooling!  What a gorgeous model!  Looking forward
to your next update.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
