Thank you for your kind words.
Time for another update.   :)
I finished painting covers the swirls it was a very labor intensive job.





Most of the decals are already located.
A few pictures from the test assembly model without glue.





I wanted to paint the rudder as Erni, but with the lack of experience did not work out how as I wanted it to do.  :'(
Also I installed the axle, with WNW to the engine Taurs. Only after pasting the engine to the model and mounting the cover, I'll see if everything is OK.







To be continued.  :)

Adam.

You are making a fantastic build Adam. It's getting nicer and nicer. Your work on the cowling paid off! It's a beauty.

Kind regards

Absolutely wonderful, Adam!  The colour looks great, as does your
decaling.  I am stunned by the amazing job of the swirls on the
cowling.  Did you use the technique shown in the Wingnuts Tips?
However you did it, it looks fantastic.  Well done on the whole build!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hi Adam:

The swirls really great, your patience paid off with a very convincing look.  I like the engine, the different colors show up nicely installed on the aircraft.   This is coming along very nice.  Outstanding work all around.

Best

Thank you for your nice opinions.
Ernie covers were painted according to the WSW technique. Since I mostly paint with paint Lifecolor, Here I used to paint the LC 74 for painting covers and swirls was painting by Tamiya X-11.

Lately I didn't have too much time to build my models, now I can show the perpetrator  ;D of this delay.



Yesterday was born my grandson , his name is Alexander.
Maybe in a couple years he will be here together with my build models.  ;D
For now I have to move my model on a very high shelf, inaccessible to him and her older sister.  ;)

Adam.

P. S.

To commemorate this event I bought myself this model.  ;D



In the Polish tradition of the storks bring children and for this it will be Guynemers aircraft.
