Thank you, once more, gentlemen.

Some more steps taken...
The holes on the upper side disappeared after three sessions of filling, CDL paint and some shading




The holes remaining on the surface visible in the photos are for aileron control line its horns and pulleys.


Two last decals went on without a fuss




And while the MicroSol was doing its job on them, I have built a specific foldable windshield for Robinson's BE2c. I have used a piece of transparent foil from a spare box (a margin of a foil sheet from the PE set for Felixstowe), folded it, painted the sides in CDL, the black rim is a decal from a spare WNW decal sheet - actually sections of a black border between decals belonging to different versions (!) and the metal folds along the canvas edges - from a thin soldering wire.





The end is nearing!!!

Oh, so tiny. If I would try this I would inhale it.
Great (tiny) work.

Wow, Przemo! There is some really great modelling there! Exquisitely fine detail that looks perfect! I have even shown it to Vanessa and she loves it! Regards, Marc

Thank you for your kind words. And Marc, my best regards to Lady V, I am especially glad she has some interest in my BE2c.

ANd BTW, this is most probably the last WIP report. I have completed the paint and weathering finish on the top wing. This allowed me to put the model upside down for the last time and complete all the underside bits - aileron controls, underwing skids, Holt flares, side step and elevator control cables. Then I put the model back on the wheels and completed the elevator upper lines and the rudder lines. Remaining bits are the upper wing aileron cable with its gear, the Lewis, the windscreen and the propeller. But these tomorrow.
