philo426 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Applied the decals to the lower wing.The Solvaset really helps to snuggle them down after a few applications. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philo426 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Got the engines together and rusted the nose engine's exhaust pipes with Testor's Burnt Metalizer.Dirtied up the cowlings a bit because those radials liked to spray oil! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philo426 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 I decided to delete the gunners station and replace it with a styrene disc.I had no more red cross decals so I painted the disc red,let it dry overnight ,applied masking tape strips and airbrushed it flat white.I like the clean look!

Slartibartfast Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I too am impressed with the build speed. Am I cock-eyed or does the tail have kink to the right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philo426 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yes it seems to.could be the reason the top did not fit.My bad I guess but all of the locking pins were aligned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
