As always, an impressive work.👍

Hey you modelling people or the world :). A quick update from my kitchen. a little sanding was done on the fuselage transition joint, in the progress I had to sacrifice the connecting strap(?). The front section was still too bulged and the bloated curves were protruding into the nose area. You can see the sanded area under the canopy all the way to the wing root. Now it comes closer to the sleek looks of the real plane….. its not perfect, but I can’t push it any further, without completely reworking the lower profile of the nose section.

Embracing the native cultures.

No worries at all Carl, this way the spinners fit even better

Bedtime shot

As of today , just the basic shapes

3. 2. 1. Swastika. ( Jojo Rabbit reference) black primer grey, rust and sandy yellow red rust and burnt iron Clear coat to follow.

Beautiful !

Stunning metal work Carl, just stunning.

Beautiful detail Phil.

Excellent finish, for some reason I really like the mines in such stark contrast with the sleek lines of the rest of the boat. Bravo! Cheers Martin

Methodical and precise peace of an impressive design and engineering, just breathtaking .

Thank you guys….. spend few hours over the propellers a little bit of backtracking took place as well. After modifying the backplates/ engine nacelles to fit Tamiya propeller assembly I’ve realized that I didn’t have the matching spinners and backplates. ,,,since the HKM spinners are generally correct I decided to graft Tamiya paddle blades on HKM hubs. Fairly easy job if you take your time with a noticeable difference.

Montex is a hit and miss deal, suffering from shrinkage distortion and insufficient research. I would say usable, but double check the shapes and sizes.

This has to feel nice. Good for you Scott, the place looks spectacular . When is the inauguration party?

I’m liking this more and more.

Bromance in the cockpit Excellent work Chris, your note about JC brought back lots of memories. My favourite shows back then. Cheers Martin

Are we there yet? I will follow this one, the Vietnam scheme is ultra attractive. Good choice John. Cheers Martin
