Thanks guys. I am thinking at this point I will complete it before the end of the GB.

Nicely done so far!

Very sharp.

Thanks guys. Struggling with painting the black circle around the spinner. Have had to re-do it a few times but I think my latest attempt is "good enough" By no means perfect but It probably wasn't either on the actual aircraft. I will post some pictures soon.

 

[A4K]

Looking forward to pics mate.

Here you go guys. I used a PE template that is used for scribing circles and different shapes such as aircraft access panels etc. It's the closest I have to drill bit sizing template which was also suggested by someone here I don't recall.

With all, looks great to me Dave!

I'm with all, it looks perfect and great idea about the template.

 

[Wayne Little]

Real Nice man....

Thanks guys. It was a real challenge to get this black ring to look decent. Now the crappy landing gear. I don't know what Eduard was thinking but the legs don't fit into the attachment point in the wheel wells. The landing gear cover end point makes the attachment point on the landing gear leg wider and the part in the wheel well is not wide enough to accept both.

Nicely done. The yellow prop tips look a tad too large though - should be around 2mm in 1/48th scale.
Hope you solve the gear problems.

Hmmm. yes they do look rather large. I will have a go at them again. Thanks Terry.
