PrzemoL Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 In the process of reducing my stash of WNW kits. With this one on the bench there are only 8 left... So, enjoying every moment of work on the best plastic in town. The interior bits almost ready to put them inside the fuselage. Not much added to the box contents, just a couple of fuel switches, a few visible control cables and soon the aerial wire and linkages for generator and throttle will follow.

scvrobeson Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Excellent start. What color did you use for the interior blue? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrzemoL Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Thanks. The interior colour is a custom mix of Vallejo Neutral Grey and a small droplet of Andrea Blue. Greg W and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrzemoL Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 The cockpit completed. It us now attached to the left fuselage half but will be closed only after the engine is embedded. So now for that 160hp Mercedes... Derek B, MikeMaben, Landrotten Highlander and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 What colour are you going for on the outside? Grey, yellow, sand? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrzemoL Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 I will follow one of the WNW suggestions. Wings undersides CDL and the remaining surfaces - light cream yellow. scvrobeson and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds reasonable. I was tempted to build mine in grey, just to be controversial but went blue in the end This is a lovely kit to build IIRC Richard Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

europapete Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I believe those are Taurus Models details, the rockers and valve springs also. Regards, Pete in RI Jeff T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Great engine. I always like your little engine jig out of sprue. Please keep up the great work, really like the Roland. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrzemoL Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Thank you, everyone. Yes, the engine enhancment bits are from Taurus. Great stuff, very highly recommended. Yesterday night I also managed to build the engine into the truss, which had to be detached from the left side fuse half to allow adding some weathering, a couple of fuel connections and the throttle linkage. Then the last glimpse and the fuse was closed. I suppose I will leave the engine covers off so that one can catch a glimpse of these engine details. Now for some minor treatment of seams.
