Jan_G Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 small update weight inserted instead of front engine front parts of both canopies masked from both sides and painted fit of the attached masks is perfect, however you need to prepare your own masks for inner side both parts fit perfectly front part of engine with flaps and cowling finished, not happy with open flaps, some PE or resin AM instead of single piece plastic could be better and few other details thanks for looking jan Tolga ULGUR, sandokan, MikeMaben and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
