    What, you mean it doesn't rain all the time over there? Incredible! It's so wet here, that a local company have published a new magazine, one of those 'In twenty weekly parts' things, Part One provides the keel for an Ark, with subsequent editions providing the parts to build the complete vessel ....

    Gotta watch out for any of them left on too long Andy...i usually apply with a fine brush and soak it up quickly with a tissue to reduce the problem, as you say easily fixed though...

    My technique's been to dab some on the silvered part, then poke the area with the end of a sharp x-acto blade til the silver disappears. Working well now and should hopefully get these areas sorted tonight. Pics then.

    Onwards....

    I've now finished fixing the silvering and did a bit of gloss coating over these areas before applying some dullcoat again to finish. In the meantime, I did a bit of work on some fiddley bits.

    Pitot tube made of Evergreen rod and stretched sprue:

    The finished cowl with all fasteners opened and areas blackened with pastel, ready to be glued in the open position:

    Before attaching the cowl, I wanted to replicate the catches for the cowl fasteners seen within the circles in the below pic:

    I made these of rod and folded paper....

    ..then painted them 02 and CA-glued them into the engine bay.

    Cracking job Andy! This is going to be a real eye-catcher when done - small diorama with a 'Schwarzmann'?
