Hi,
I'm working on the fuselage. After the woodgrain decals, I varnish it. Unfortunately I have had some troubles with my airbrush  >:( So I had to sand and varnish and sand and varnish...... No matter it's OK now, not perfect but OK. However I wonder whether the varnish isn't too much matt. What do you think ? (perhaps it's difficult to consider on a picture). As I'm working on the fuselage I've already stuck the different decals and I've made some weathering. I'm not sure to do the different stages in the best order. Generally the weathering is the last thing you do when the building and painting is over. And there is still work to be done  ;D

Jean-Luc, I think the varnish and weathering are perfect.  All of the wear is right where it belongs.  I think one last coat of semi-gloss after all is complete will bring out the luster nicely.
Cheers,
Bud

I think this fuselage is just right, Jean-Luc.  Will be a stunning model when complete.

Hello Dol,

Now this is a wonderful build. I like your wood grain, the engine will be gorgeous and your fuselage exterior tremendously good. A very clean and exquisit build!

Kind regards

A very small update with the leather around the cockpit. It's too smooth on the model so I 've carved it a little bit. Afterwards it is painted with artist acrylics ""burnt umber" and "burt sienna". The seam is painted.







Currently I'm working on the engine. So many springs to built it's quiet irritating  >:(

The leather rim is very nice - I like it very much.
You're right, Jean-Luc - he is too smooth on the model. Very good idea to make this rim a little bit wavy.

Very nicely done with the fuselage wood grain and the leather cockpit padding is brilliant.

The leather coaming is very impressive - and a nice improvement from the original. Well done.
