I'm here again!
Added a few more details to the office and repositioned safety belts in a more correct way.



Also added Revi gunsight to the dash-board



Finally I inserted the cockpit inside the fuselage



Now I'm almost ready to coat everything with primer.

More to follow, hopefully soon.

Hi everybody,
I'm back home in Milan and with no grandchildren willing to help me, I was able to mask what was necessary and primed my model, here some pictures:


After priming only one little defect was visible that I tried to sort out with little putty.



For your information, I used a solvent base primer produced by this Italian guy

Colori acrilici opachi a base d?acqua pronti all'uso per modellismo Kcolors.com

The primer I used, sprayed with my airbrush, comes ready for use, is very thin and require several layers to to get a good coat, specially if you want to cover the background color, but finest details aren't covered.

More wil follow asap.

Going further a little bit.

Lower surfaces painted with RLM76 (Aqueous Hobby Color H417)



Side view shows an area where a retouch is required as well as the yellow wiring to be connected to landing gear leg.

Also done upper surfaces with RLM79 (H66)



About the propeller I decided to go for the large wooden blades, so I purchased the resin kit from EagleParts.
In the picture they are just fitted to the spinner, that will be painted white (presently is just primed), then a mask for the spiral will be applied and painted black.



More to follow
Alberto
