Hi all!

 

 

I couldn´t get any HGW belts, so Eduard´s will have to do…

But they look really good when in place and I have begun the painting the details in the cockpit….

A black-Brown wash (made up with white spirit and some artists oil paint), some scratch marks and wear and tear later I call it done….

Thanks Håkan!

 

 

The instrumentpanel from Yahu are incredibly nice and extremely well done, but It´s a bit too narrow for the kit cockpit!

 

I made a backing plate from plasticard that fitted as intended and glued the IP to that.

 

This is a ”dry-run” just to see how it looks.

I trimmed away some plastic, glued the panel to it with a little CA and painted all edges matt black (Hu.33).

 

When the IP was glued to the cockpit I made a quick dry-run, just to see how the wings fitted to the fuselage.

 

It just clicked together and I quickly applied some liquid glue!

The fit was some of the best I have seen, even the fit against the fuselage at the rear of the wings was marvelous!
