Well , finally got to this point . Still have 55 minutes.

Hmmm , due to some difficulties between my understanding of how the picture posting works, I decided to try from scratch this morning .

Looks great Chris, sorry you're having trouble with the images.

I'll start from the bottom up .

The gear door retract mechanism was way oversize , so I made new ones to be more realistic .

I made an oil cooler door and installed fine screen to give the rear of the radiator some detail.

Finally, the lower side was weathered . ( I assumed they did try and keep this aircraft clean.

Installed quickboost exhaust

The wheel is cocked because it just casters while the rudder is centered by springs.

Wing guns scratched with Albion tubing . Cowl cannon by Master barrels, gear indicator ( painted brass rod ) and landing light scratched by yours truly.

The rest are just random pictures . You might pick out brake lights and the vac formed sliding piece of the canopy .

Sorry I was not on time. Still amazes me that I can input something to the computer / web site and something totally different comes up .
Even more frustrating is the difficulty involved with editing the pictures I tried to post

I hope you guys enjoy the pictures . This is a worthwhile kit. Cheers, Christian B)

The answers are usually simple Bob . Helps to understand the topic though ... which is probably where I was.

If you got the mower going, that deserves another prayer . :facepalm you'll be expected to use it now

Cheers, Christian B)
