Superb modelling Oleg!
Everything looks spot on and crisp and clean. I wish I could build that neat.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards

Are those really resin parts? Outstanding painting a super build - like others I will be following this build.

So far I`m planning like having no upper cowling cover. As for the fuel tank, and re-painting it, as the first try was not very satisfying
