Finicky work with the exhausts

 

[Crimea_River]

Yeah, something I've not bothered with lately. Can't get motivated sometimes.

 

[destrozas]

Those small details are more than visible afterwards and give the plane a magnificent appearance, very good job

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys...yeah I decided to do the exhausts for some odd reason...adds extra delicate work, but what the hell....back to them shortly...

anyway have added the small undercarriage covers to the fuselage and included some extra bits for the retraction mechanism....
Cleaned up the canopy to get the fit right and started the masking, but got interupted so finish it tomorrow...

[Vic Balshaw]

Those little retraction mechanism extras, so delicate, I take my hat of to you sir.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks very much Guys...

Finished the canopy masking, completed the exhausts as far as i want to go....assembled the Prop assembly and fitted the main portion of the Gun assembly.
The barrel was thin and delicate so I removed the forward section and the barrel and fitted a better representation of the forward assembly from a spare in one my J1N1 Gekko kits and will also use the barrel from here too.

All good stuff.

 

[fubar57]

Agreed

 

[Crimea_River]

Boy, that back seater better not have been too tall.

 

[Wayne Little]

Cheers Guys, Have painted over the canopy and inner section to reflect the inside colour of frames, the Dark green camo over the top to come soon.
added the Gunsight and painted the rear cannon assembly...
