    Thanks Kais, the picture was taken shortly after the battle of Midway.The damage is obvious, but the name is puzzling "FALSY" or "FILSY" ?, hard to say.

    Needless to add, that my role-models in terms of finish is Chris Wauchop and detailing Wolf and William

    A lot, I actually suck really bad in airbrushing and regular brush is my saving grace. It boils down to the paint and thinner. I use to use ModelMaster for quarter century, but just recently switched to Mr.Color.

    Thank You Carl. As of this moment I am releasing an executive decision to make your life easier. Those are dents on the cowling, hail from Calgary or something. Here is another low-res shot and

    And the 8-ball is on the left side as well

    Or maybe I should finish it as a black 2 with squished insignia and 8-ball

    Guys check out the messed up cowling on number 5 It would be nice to know what was written under the canopy frame. And what happened on the leading edge of the right horizontal stabilizer . Here is no.4

    That dark wash is little bit too dark LOL, engine looks like some kind of barn-find And the Trumpeter's seat-belt won't cut it either Here I thinned the edges of every opening and add some plumbing. Currently working on the rubber seals for the gear bays. Main wing was partially distressed. It is hard to capture the effect in my poor light conditions , but you can see through the open slats

    This is not exactly a serious build that will be meticulously recorded. I decided to slap it together for fun. Kit is super nice with exception of the rivets that i may re-punch with a beading tool in order to recreate the raised look. This whole thing should be out of the box, with addition of the deep charge or maybe seat belts. I started by priming everything in automotive primer and opening the slots on the wing Then interior went together , primed and dark washed. So as the engine.

    Yeah, they are different. Such an elegant aeroplane. British construction school was so by-polar. Creating beautiful airframes such as Lanc. , Spitfire or Triplane as well as disasters such as Blackburn II, Hayford or Gannet.

    Thank You for the kind words Ivan ,Yeah, I like my little Capri LOL..... the picture above is not my car, I just hang it there to show the look of the Trufiber hood. Thank You Jeff, however it is not done yet. After the paint job is finished, it will be cured, wet sanded and polished. I will keep you posted guys. And I do not differentiate between brands . Car guy is a car guy, no matter what you drive as long as you have a pride in what you drive and the ride makes you happy. Every gear head needs some grease once in a while. ,unless...... (excuse the course language ) 1:49

    Thank You Carl. Oilcanning is very popular in Calgary :), no bond on this baby. Thank You Jeff. Not exactly full repaint, but most of it has to to be blended and clear of course. Thank You Ernie . I was contemplating hood this ram air scoop from Trufiber, that looks attractive but it was too heavy and the fit of this product is questionable and would probably take too much time/money to make it look semi-decent. Gt 350 hood looks smooth and vents the heat just as Henry wanted . It is also lighter then the stock one. Also Also the idea of forcing air to the chambers has a much nicer form
