Thanks to all who have looked in and taken the time to comment. Your kind words are very much appreciated.
I've spent a little time here and there in the workshop this week. I spent some time getting the machine guns mounted along with the "shell chutes". I also installed the windscreen and exhaust. The front end of the fuselage is pretty much complete except for adding a little wear and tear.
I've also been working on the tail end. I mounted the horizontal stabilizer. The rudder is just setting in place. I still need to fix the small wires in holes I drilled to give it a little more strength. The tail skid needs to be touched up as well.
I've painted the prop and spinner. It should probably be grey-green but I think the red looks better so...
Finally, I've completed the 5 color lozenge on the wings. I used the Aviattic set designed for the Roland. Fellas, if you haven't tried their products you are missing out. This is my first time with them. They are a lot tougher than I thought they would be. No tears despite my ham-fisted efforts to get them into place. They conform beautifully and most importantly-they really look good!
This will be my last update before the holidays. I want to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I'll be spending some quality time with family and friends for the next few days. Maybe Santa will bring me a new kit or
v/r,
Rob
