Just finished this wonderful kit. Here's a few practice pics. It's painted with Misterkit acrylics and detailed with the Eduard PE set.

I started out to imitate Ray Rimmel's build in which he left the engine cowling off. This was my first attempt at detailing an engine by adding spark plugs, wiring and valve springs, so I didn't want to then hide that work. However, I decided to just leave that whole piece off because I liked the cockpit too, and wanted it to be more visible. I will attempt some better photos of the engine soon.

Cheers,
