Thanks Wojtek, if you need any more foil, let me know - I have a huge bag full of the thicker foil from my pain killers. Parts of the strips are textured, which is great for making quilted padding, checker plate etc.

Here a few next shots of the prop.

THX Gents.

Here the rudder pedals.These looked good .However a few of these holes were corked with plastic and I have had to pierce tham with a thin drill. Then I added attachments I have made of a warm stretched piece of a sprue and wrapped around a file handle.

Wojtek, I can't believe I just found this thread! I have this exact same kit and was afraid to touch it. Following this.....

 

[Wurger]

I would like to see you in action Chris. Although there were incorrections and mistakes , I have found the kit nice. So go . go......

Here is the kit gunsight. As you can see there was a big hole ( cavity) on another side of the part. So my first step was to fill it with a rod made of warm stretched sprue.Initially, it was used as a handle as well. Also I have removed from the gunsight top something that was supposed to be a lens of the gunsight optics.In fact it looked like a small knoll. I have replacd it with a part I made of the stretched sprue. In the last pic you can see the second part of the gunsight that should have been "glass" partialy....

To be continued.......

 

[Lucky13]

Most excellent Sir!

THX Jan.

Because I couldn't llook on the second part I cut it in a half.Then I attached it to the gunsight body.I mixed some black matt enamel with a thinner and painted the gunsight.Also I have painted the " rear protective bumper" with a brown-leather colour. The lens was painted silver.

Looking good Wojtek.

 

[Wurger]

For the gumsight screen I have used a part of the sprue with "glass" that comes with the kit. There was a description on that buit I sanded it down with a file and sandpaper.Then I cut off a piece and polished later.

 

[Lucky13]

Outstanding work my friend!
