Some choice words don't help. but they ease the tension at the time.

I think I took a leaf out of Msea's book, and made sure it was 'naughty nautical'

Hi All,
A little update.
The engines are more or less complete, the engine bays and cockpit/floor are painted.
Started on the instrument panel, which calls to be painted white in the instructions and then overlay the decal for it. Not sure if this is to make the dials stand out more clearly.
I'm trying it, if it does not work, I'll strip it of paint and decal and repaint adding individual instruments as aftermarket decals in my decal store.
Also have done another general test fit of the main wing, boom and tailplane.
I have used a section of Balsa between the fins to ensure a 90 degree alignment, whilst the tailplane is drying.
Interior seats painted, and now ready for detail painting and some seat belts from wine bottle foil (what else?)
Happier now, it is beginning to take shape.
Some pictures follow.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Slow but sure is the best way, I always get too impatient to see a model finished,

[MSea]

Yes I get fed up and move onto another model to keep my interest going and then go back to the original one later

Are you displaying it with the engine covers off? Sems a pity to hide them.

The rear one is more or less impossible,

The front one might be as a removeable cover, depends how it all lines up. But the good news is, I know it is in there!!

Exposed noted on 'wish list',  possibility a little unsure at this stage.

As Eric and Ernie  used to say "its nice out well, put it away there is a policeman coming"  or have I got the wrong end of the stick with your comments Kevin - HOHOHOHO

[Bigkev]

Tut, tut Msea.

I think that 'you is a naughty boy, with wicked twinkle in eye.....'

My mind is totally blank, as you know.......ho,ho,ho,ho

I am saying nothing about your mind but Zak thinks I have an empty space between my ears
