There's one thing I've forgotten: Several props show traces of black because the glue they used had a black color. This is easily repeated in 1:32 or 1:48 by adding some black acrylic color to the white glue.

   I have changed my method slightly; I now prefer to carefully carve the prop (I use a standard hobby knife with a #11 Blade) to it's rough outline and dimensions rather then use the drum sander. From that point I used the small drum sanding attachment on my Dremel and then hand sand until finished. It seems easier to control that way........
Cheers,

Wow, everything is said above. So much talent...I will store my Fee in a dark box in the cellar.
Chapeau,

Thanks Andreas for providing such clear and detailed photos of your build, especially the engine. These are going to be really useful for me when I get around to scratch building mine in a smaller scale. I will not be adding the level of detail that you do of course, but even the outlines will now be much more accurate because of your guidance.

First class work, as always.

Stephen.

Thank you all for your nice comments, gents!
Manni, don't say that. Your Fee is spectacular and I love to throw an eye on your posts for reference  :)

Here are some pics of an almost finished nacelle. Engine and cover are attached without glue for the pics only:

Great progress, Borsos! It's interesting to see the changes you've made, especially as I know so little about the different flavours of Fee.

I particularly like the dents in the nacelle, it really boosts the realism. Looking very good!

You are making a spectacular conversion, Borsos! I like every single bit of this. And I am looking forward to see more. ;)

Beautiful work on the engine and nacelle.  I just found your build - cockpit is amazing, too.

I concur with the other posters. This is shaping up nicely and your modeling skills are in evidence throughout the build.  The engine is a modeling work of art in itself as are the modifications you had to do to come up with this variant of the FEE.  Very impressive.
