      Good work on the buckles, Danny, although they look
line a regiment of soldiers that are having trouble
learning "about turn". ;) ;D  Looking forward
to your next updates, my friend.                   

The one in the middle Ernie, is the worst one ;D ;D ;D

No really, thank's Ernie for you're nice comment mate.

Time for a massive update guy's :whistle:
 
Last day's i was very busy to tackle some details. First thing to do was glueing some part's to fuselage.
 
First thing, the whole engine and the frontal machinegun.
 








 
Wheels are attached to the landinggear. I chosed to use the company decals to add on the wheels. I found that the text, wich was molded on the tires was overdone, so therefore the decal solution.




 
Next thing will be a fun part......wheatering

Ok, time for the next update, the wheatering of Harry.  On of my favourite way's of wheatering is using the Tamiya wheatering sets. These sets give you lot's of possibility's, it's good stuff.

First i tackled the underside of the upper wing.



The flash of the camera hides most of the details, so here's a closer look.





Upper part of the upper wing, here's it's a little more difficult to achieve certain effects. I didn't want a harsh effect overhere so a subtle wheatering was added.
Left side is untouched, right side wheatered.



A closer look



And the roundel



Also the landinggear wheels where wheatered with these Tamiya sets





Time to add the rest of the part's to the fuselage.

The engine cowl's where glued on theire place. First i wanted to display the engine, but i wanted a machine that was ready for battle, with the pilot and gunner on theire way to board the plane.

The fit here wasn't quit good, I think the problem didn't lie at the kit itself, it was rather me that did something wrong.....i don't know .....well ok, here we go, everything worked at the end, so no harm done.





Windscreen and Aldis sight are glued.



When i glued the Aldis sight, i touched with my Tamiya thin cement brush the left exhaust, resulting in leaving a glue stain on the surface........stupid me..... 
That will taken care of, not much harm done.





Next, wheatering of the bottom wing, first to do was the underside, again, the same way like the upper wing, but the wheatering is heavier now.







Horizontal stabelizer.



Then systematic i wheatered the rest of the Harry.















Also the twin Lewis machineguns and the bomnbs on theire racks are ready to be assembled, this i will do when most of the rigging is done.









That's all folk's

Great update, indeed! I like watchng how this one is turning from a usual plastic model into a true small scale replica.

Fantastic update !!! Your Paint work, especially on the undersurface of the wings, and decaling are superb! The MGs and ring mount are gorgeous! Lovely work all around!

A terrific update, Danny!  Harry is really looking the business now.  Your
weathering efforts have certainly paid off...it looks just great!  This is
really turning into a stunning model, my friend.  Looking forward to the
next look at Harry. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)
