Nice progress and completely agree, what a difference with the prop blades.👍

 

[Martinnfb]

Widows were masked and coated with seven layers of Mr. Surfacer , taking care of imperfections in the joints

Nice work on the nose windows - fit is perfect.

 

[Martinnfb]

Thank you gentlemen. I wouldn't  say perfect, as long as it's a visible improvement, we can call it better. Still needs tons of polishing.

Nothing like crystal clear and clean glass .. looking so good.

All's looking good Martin but as to the props w/o them being side by side I would never notice the difference even side by side it's slight.I will continue with the HK props when I go to finish mine.

[Martinnfb]

Absolutely agreed Kevin. It’s not a deal breaker, just an upgrade. 
 

was taking some measurements today

So that's what you have been working on in the back yard it always looked so suspicious from my side of the block?

From your posting above, no project is worthwhile unless you put some blood into it. 😉

Time to do something about the canopy framing. The real thing is made of welded tubing with flat support tabs on the top. 
…..kit part is somewhat simplified

not great, not terrible ☢️

Missed out one visible detail. Booo Martin 

[Martinnfb]

Brilliant work and wow, nothing like being able to pout your hands on the real deal for reference down to the last detail.

Yeah right?

You know guys when I was talking about the inner exhaust shroud? Well I started yesterday. By filing the inner cavities with Vallejo plastic putty, which is basically an acrylic caulk .

Second layer is smoothing the transition, the rest will be carved by hand.
