Thanks BOb, Ian and Luiz . We have arrived at the end of the road .

A pitot has been made, the gear retract cable were tightened and the antenna was installed .

EZ line was used . Sort of strange stuff . It crinkled like decal when I applied paint . Need to get a gel marker to do the next one correctly .

Now we need a bit of John deere sounds......I'll try to get some beauty shots tomorrow if the power stays on

Cheer, Christian B)

Looks absalutely fantastic Chris

Thanks Dave and James for coming by here

Yesterday was a fitting day for finishing a Russian build with all the snow and ice.

However, it was not good for photography so I waited till latter on to take pictures.

First up, are the position light which the kit totally overlooked .

Just a bit of superglue with a hole to represent a colored bulb.

The landing gear cables held up when I tightened them ( Hurra )

A look inside that awkward canopy which shows the fore and aft holes in the cowl to let the light in for the gages . Only half of them have glass in them :idonno

A better look at that tricky landing gear

A look through the cowl depicting a small amount of engine detail.

Or it can be displayed with the gills closed.

Another look under the windscreen where the nice PE gunsight is mostly hidden.

Also, a field repair on the right wing where I had the argument with the landing gear stance :facepalm

Hope you like it. Cheers, Christian B)
