Thank you for all your kind comments and support, gents!
I'm pleased to see you have painted the WNW cabane strut brackets before further assembly - did you paint these before the cockpit was assembled too? Did you shade to make those rudder ribs/frame stand out, or is that a natural effect we can see due to the profile of the surface?
Unfortunately, Ian, I did not have the foresight to paint the brackets before hand and, yes, it was challenging. At least I had the presence of mind to paint them before closing up the fuselage. That would've
really been a pain. I did preshade the rudder, but I also intend to postshade just to enhance it a bit. A little weathering, as well.
Looking great Bud, I am considering buying one, a WNW kit that is, just one of course to see what they are like. But the only downside is I may buy one, start building it, then buy the second, third, fourth, fifth, divorce, six, seventh………………….. 
Justin, just get SWMBO to buy them for you for Christmas, birthday, anniversary, Valentine's Day, etc., then it becomes her idea and all is well. Trust me on this.
really nice stuff bud. i like the update on the 1/48 wings for the pulley inspection panels. the first guy i saw do that was rowan on his 1/48 eduard pup build. but that was a long time ago in a forum far far away.
I remember that build, Scott. Truly outstanding stuff. I got the idea of using 2 part epoxy from Brad and his SE5a. 1/48 scale is far too large to ignore those panels.
Finally got the WNW engine done.
Again, the comparison.
I was surprised to find that the engine did not fit inside the cowling. Anyone else have this problem? I really should have thinned the cowling anyway. Still not too late. Next step.
Cheers,
Bud
