Just found this thread!!!!   Nice work to.  I built this exact plane in 1/48th for Glen Eagleston stepson.  Keep up the great work.

Tolga,

  Nice job with those Skull & Bones. Looks just like they were painted on.

 

  Your resin replacement wheels & tires are painted and weathered most realistically, and that's what matters the most.

Skull and crossbones looks great - the colour match with the rest of the cowl is spot on. Not easy with such a high contrast yellow in the background, good job!

Great work on the cowl. I'm starting my build and am hoping to get the multi part beast together as well as yours

Exhaust stains applied..

Thanks God I made a test fitting of the windscreen before painting it

There is a gap between fuselage and windscreen. This is bizarre.

So ı decided to fix it by using some evergreen plastic.

After some works it s painted and ready to be installed.

Real nice great save on the windshield to

   Your exhaust staining really is quite convincing. Certainly not overly done. And that's really a different way to fix an ill fitting windscreen. Going to have to use that method the next time I run into that issue.
