    This is brilliant stuff even down to the tarnished aluminium.

    Yeah, let's go with that. I did have my choice of 3 different "silver" paints and went with the duller aluminum one so I guess you could say there was some thought behind it!

    Thanks Vic.

    Thanks Wayne. Landing gear has been painted and I'm working on finishing details on them this week.

    Bit of progress on some bits and pieces to show you:

    Pic 1. The finished propellers with blades in RLM 70, hubs in metallic gray and pitch mechanisms in aluminum. The spinners (not shown) have been painted white in preparation for masking a spiral. Although not shown as such in the kit profile, reference photos I've studied show a/c of the same unit and close to the same serial numbers as having the ubiquitous black/white spirals on the spinners.

    Pic 2: The finished nose wheel strut and one of the main gear struts. None of the photos I studied revealed a brake line on the nose gear so I have not installed one. The brake lines on the main strut have been painted RLM 02 along with the rest of the strut except for the couplings which were simulated with a dab of white glue and painted silver after drying and the flex hoses which were black. A very light wash was applied at the hinge joints on all the legs and a mild smudging with black pastels finished things off.

    Next time I should have some work on the landing lights and intakes to show.
