Very nice work to date Andonio, looking forward to seeing all the internal parts painted and then fitted.

Hallo everybody,
Happy new year to all my forumite friends!

Some progress on the "interior design":

- Dashboard -


- starboard fuselage half -


- port fuselage half -





Now I have closed the fuselage, I'm waiting for the glue to dry, then I'll work on the joining lines with sandpapere and putty, now I'm going to paint the propeller.

Ciao!!!!

Very nice Flea. Good to see how these old eduard kits can be made into something really pretty!

Hallo friends, some new material:



I painted the propeller,
- base coat: Tamiya deck tan
- reddish belts drawn with a coloured pencil
- Humbrol "Acrylic Varnish Satin 135" spray to seal
- Gunze Clear Yellow to warm the tones

I should have used a warmer tone as a base, for example a CDL or the Wooden Deck Tan, to get a more realistic effect...

An error here was to imagine the Axial logo had a white background, but once transferred from the paper base to the propeller it revealed to be transparent, I should have painted a white circle as a base but it was too late...






Preshading the wings and the tail surfaces looks like I put pajamas on them...



I closed the fuselage





A couple of photos of the cockpit, the opening is too narrow to show what's inside, OK I had fun in doing it...

The cockpit opening rimming was made using a tiny plastic tube (used to tie some plants to their support)



I improved a bit the openings on the "face"...

I hope to start tomorrow the main painting work...

Ciao and thanks as usual for the attention.

Super detailing in the cockpit - what a shame it is not visible! This is going to be a very interesting model when completed - some very fine modelling here.

Thanks Marc and Stephen.
Yesterday I painted the upper surfaces of the 4 wings and of the tail planes, more later this week (hopefully).

Ciao
