My pleasure Steph. It looks like you managed to make those tiny masks work. Was it difficult? I was concerned they would be too small to work well.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far!

Hello,
I well worked yesterday and today (Heuu, I think...)
Landing gear and propeller: I cut the piece "tail wheel" of the model kit to keep only the wheel and adapt it to the Scale Aircraft Conversiosn part that I modified a little


Work on the cowl flaps: I used the rest of the plastic part used in post #72 to make the flaps, I refined them and then glued on a part of tin fiol to keep the curved shape. Plastic rods added, gluing under the nose and small touch up of Neutral grey.


It remains to apply a final coat of gloss varnish before weathering

Dang Steph superb work.
