Thank you for your kind comments, gentlemen.
And so it goes on with my Biff. Some steps forward, some steps back.
Forward - some PC10 painting done, no shading yet. Upper wing alerons and elevators
But then, when the fuselage top got its PC10 I was shocked to notice that the seam line still shows. I scratched the paint in the affected zone, scraped a deeper trench along, filled it liberally with CA glue and now I am letting it set well, i.e. I will wait two or three days before sanding. Then I will have to do some polishing to hide the edges (steps) of the scratched hole in the paint. Damn, I detest such mishaps...
But on the positive side again, the propeller got its colours
and is waiting for some wash around the boss plate.
And the result of todays work are the control horns for the elevator. I have just realised, that the lines are both double and equipped with turnbuckles at the elevator horns. It was tricky to insert the Bob's buckles on BOTH sides of the horns. Due to their small thickness I had to trim the eyelets tails to half a milimeter or so to have the loops just popping off the surface. And then I tied 1/48 scale Gaspatch turnbuckles to those eyelets at the elevator horns using loops formed from 0.07mm copper wire. All tested for pull out, lucky me to do this now, as not all the points held firmly, I had to redo two or three out of eight. Now finally the horns are ready for black paint together with the remaining black fittings.
