The underside of the fuselage and the wings is neutral grey with a few drops of Aluminium. Next follow the decals, detail painting, the rips of the wings, oil color matt clear coat ....

elmarriachi Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hello, after the mounting of the upper wing I have added the pipework between engine and wing, then started the rigging. The turnbuckles are from Gaspatch Models and glued in drilled holes. Once dry I have glued EZ-Line through the turnbuckles, stretched it and glued it in place. Some adjustment of the turnbuckles will follow. Next I will add the landing gear and the propeller ... Cheers Micha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
