Hi,

Thank you for your words (and french words).

The joints of the hood are masticated and ended.
"Rivets" are made with a pin (around hoods, around the entrance of the "post of piloting").

The shutters of the radiator is done again.

I cut a small part of the shutters with file, abrasive paper and blade of razor

A+

Great work you are doing there, picking up plenty of tips for when I get round to building this kit.

Thank for your nice words everybody.

The shutters of the radiator is finished (exept paint).

I find new Vikers for my Spad. They are "Part" Vickers:

I was anxious to bend the yoke, but it is not so difficult:

Folding the pieces are heated to the flame to make them less hard.

The largest pieces ( It still lacks 7):

We need a little sanding to get it back. Protections ("left gutters" and right too of course) are removed to make the news.

I'm painting the Vickers now, I hate do that.

A bientôt
