Thanks guys
Bud,
There must be at last one picture of her with the whole fuselage. The mystery remains for the shape of the ailerons and elevators
Cheers
Pierre
I've been unable to find one so far.  I'll contact Bob Pearson and ask him if he know of any other photos.  I'd like to know how he determined that it was a b model and not an a.  By the way, Pierre, I love your idea for a diorama.  I would never have thought of a headless man choking the pilot. ;)
Cheers,
Bud

Hello Gents
While the headless mechanic went back to the paint workshop a little step forward with the plates of the engine (dry fit) and some more weathering.
Cheers
Pierre

Thanks for your kinds comments
Nextstep with the undercarriage.
I have chosen to not follow the profile as there are no photographic evidence for the yellow wheel cover. I have chosen the most used on the Roland i.e. lozenges pattern. i used again the fantastics decals from Aviattic.
Dry fit on her before the complete weathering.

Cheers
Pierre

Wow! I'm just catching up on a lot of builds I've missed due to work insanity. What a delight this is to see.

Cheers from NYC,

Pierre I really like the wheel covers with losange, definitely better to my eyes than plain yellow, great job my friend, really challenging and outrageous! Cheers , Lou Boumian. 8) 8)

Again, admiring you weathering, Pierre, my eye is again drawn to the weathering around the cowling.  Your rendition of the effects of engine heat on the wood is brilliant.
Cheers,

Thanks for pointing that out, Bud. A newbie like me would not have realized what that was without your sharp eye guiding it.
Yeah, man, it is that sort of attention to detail that makes a very fine build into a great one.

Bravo!

Thanks Gents for your kinds comments.
As I'm a carpet worker (initiated will understand) some very little hairs are always flying. I removed all those who were glued to the cover of the wheel..... I need then to use some washes and pigments for  harmonizing the weathering on the undercarriage
