Jamme Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hello. As promised somme more pics from the build. Cockpit finished and part of the canopy glued. Detail of the wheel well and exit from the radiator: The wheel struts, wheel covers and wheels. Those were masked with the self made masks tires are "weighted" on my usual manner when "silicone" and painted in Gunze tire black Two pictures from the plane "in cross". I made the stabilizers flat as in Nick review. Thank you for looking Hope you like it. CC comments and questions always welcome.

Jamme Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hello Grant and Harv. Thank you very much! Harv: This is the painting stage.
