This model is great. I like particularly the propeller paint work. Such a fine job on such a small part. And those machine guns & Scarf mount. SUPERB Carl T

[PrzemoL]

Thank you all.
Here are some more photos.
After over three hours of tedious cutting and attaching the bulk looks like this:



and the rudder/fin


And one more shot for those in love with the prop

Mr Przemol, sir, as an old duffer that used to think I was real good at model building ( that is my own assesment ) I have as yet to even attempt to paint any propeller with the laminated effect & I hold anyone who does it as well as you have in the greatest awe. With your latest group of photos I am eagerly awaiting the next so as to see what effect all that taping has on the paint job. Carl T

[PrzemoL]

So, CarlT, this is what all this taping was for:




Now the shading is done, so is wash, there will come also some dirtying pigments and the final assembly is looming - U/C, upper wing, rigging, etc.
