Looks great Filip!  The scratch details really add to this build.

Another update:
The rib tapes are home made decals - a CDL oversprayed over the clear decal sheet. I need over 180 rib tapes, so a lot of cutting lies ahead... ;) They are CDL as Ray Rimell suggested.


I have also started to work on  Mercedes VIa  engines - cylinders needed separating they were cast as one element.  The inlet manifolds are wrapped to simulate the asbestos tapes

Very nicely done Filip.  You must have a great deal of patience to handle all of those rib tapes. ;)  The results are worth it.  The engines look very sharp as well.  Wonderful build!

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Filip,

Great cockpit detail! Very much like how the altimeter and compass turned out.

Thanks for your kind words gentlemen!
In the meantime I`ve almost finished the nacelles. I`ve added all the plumbing and scratchbuilt the radiators - those from the kit were really ugly.
