yep....it is, all the nose section is so thinned that i've got little problem of wrapping.......hopefully not too much.....that's the problem when you mix resin/plastic in a small area.....

got a question, in form of a " poll"......i'm between two idea about the final coat of varnish, a matt or a satin ?

normally i'm more for a matt version....

ok, here's where i'm....still need to paint details as some metal parts; activators of the wheel wells; all the Nav lights to place ....and finally some different coats of varnish. Then finding a mirror and make the base for it !

forget to say, you can see with the pics of the front wheel bay, on the front panel you can se the resin on the edge of it....that's what happend when you paint the panels on the resin block...an then see that the way they attache the pieces isnt on the border...but partly over it....so you'll have to cut an erase....but then have part of the piece unpainted......that's the Aires view of the thing.....

so now i've got the retouch all of these things.....so funny !
