Struts are in their place (20 struts + 4 coming soon!)



let's start the upper wing...

first of all the seam on the wing.

- I use the rosie to line up the holes
- one hole each two is drilled
- surfacer to fill the holes
- primer product
 I tryed 0.1 or 0.2mm and the first one  is better



résult:



painting now... for the underside that is the effect i want:



it clearly appears on most of the pics:



Let's go

underside is done:



As usual, I lighten too much much my effect, but it will be allright...

This is a truly incredible build. The lacing on the wings is terrific and the shading on the underside likewise. I am really enjoying following this - a real tribute to an very good kit and a master modeller.
