wear a good job, all we see is that the way they tend to end these models is that they are flat, no relief as the interior panels or clocks do not stop taking the hit, I try to do a while ago Dornier Do17 GMP Z 3 to 1 / 33 but gave up because it is very difficult to do without practice before a job that you're doing
nice job
nice job
Not always these cockpit interiors are as flat as you think. It usually depends on an author of a model or just simply on us and knowledge about aircraft structures.
BTW... a good job on the model Boats. Keep working.

Great stuff Boats. Nice to see work in a different medium. The engineering that goes into the paper kits is pretty impressive.

Here is an update for the now I,ll squeez in a couple more pix before the nights over. for now here is the assembly of the Stabilizer unit. as you can see on the photos below the outer skins for the stabilizer and the spar and ribs. there are 5 pieces for the ribs and spar and the filler platform they fit against the previeous installed stabilizer spar and cemented in to position. When dry Starting from the bottom of the stabilizer platform and spar glue into position then fold over and glue, When working with these card models its a good practice to color in the leading and trailing edges so that the white will disappear. After the stabilizers have been installed its time for the two fillets that are glued to fill in the stabilizer root same as the real machine. Here are the update for now
