Thanks Luiz and Ian . Your interest is appreciated
Modeling still seems to be hit and miss . Posting pictures even more so .
I have made progress even though I have not done what I said I would.
I primed the cockpit area was primed with Mr surfacer
and that's where I went off the rails Airbrush in hand , I primed the tail wheel well, followed by RLM 02
Same with the main wells. While there I inserted some Apoxie to keep the hollow places from flexing while I build. That always results in broken seems on the leading edges.
Super glued the leading edge and used Tamiya on the trailing edge.
Same story on fuselage , except it's super glue all around .
Next, everything was sanded and scribed
Next, the engine housings were scribed and assembled
I was not crazy about the kit carburetor intake or the exhaust , so it's now Quickboost ( on the right )
The props were cleaned up and metal tubing replaced the kit attachment pins
The exhaust was painted AK silver and then misted with clear Tamiya yellow
The props were painted, the radiators detailed and the exhaust stained .
That's all for now . Cheers, Christian B)
