Arnaud;

I tried the decal option for the little openings that you marked in green on the photo, but was not happy with the result and ended up drilling the openings out.

Ok Jamie! Thank you very much, I'll do it this way!

It lacks the radiator on the wing.

I realize with different materials, cut and engraved brass sheet and plastic:







I dug the wing for not having too many thickness:



The result with some other details:

Very nice work with the cockpit and the wing radiator. I can imagine that the fully enclosed engine compartment and the tight cockpit the pilot must have felt like he was sitting in an oven.

Hi Naimbs!
Nice work! Love the radiator! Awesome.
Though this aircraft reminds me of the airplane my daughters used to ride on a carrousel... :D

The original 'egg-plane' takes shape. That radiator is fantastic. I'm tempted to go back to mine and do that to.

Hi guys!

This model is a pleasure! Thank you very much for your comments!

I have continued.





To test:



There was no delimitation of the engine cover:





PE parts are sometimes poorly represented:











I drilled the front. First I glued the decals directly on the plastic.



Then I drilled as best I could ....  ??? It's not perfect, but it stay that way.



I think painting shortly!!!





Cheers

Outstanding work, Arnaud!  Great idea, using the decals as templates.  Excellent work on the louvers, as well.
Cheers,
