Bit more done today, the resin bullet fairing has been stuck on , the top of the rudder and fin painted and the canopy has had its first coat of yellow on the many frames. Oh i almost forgot - the matt black in on the nose has been painted and the engine is in now too , cheers tony

Undercarriage legs are now on ,and ive added a pair of scissor links from tiny strips of foil bent into a V shape. Ive also added the scoop under the cowling as this is missing on the kit and is quite a prominent feature of the T6 . The control surfaces and the back edge of the cowling have had a dark wash to define the lines but i wont be doing any of the panel lines - in this scale and this colour it would look too false , heres some pics , cheers tony

You have done this little kit proud.


I'm impressed with how you have done the canopy.

Well its done , the last few touches like the aerial (had to scratch this as i lost the tiny resin ones on the floor!) , the undercarriage doors which I replaced with plastic card as the kit ones were a bit thick, and the pitot - made from a piece of wire bent to shape , are on . Ive also cut out the landing lights in the wing leading edge and use Kristal Kleer to glaze the opening.


Its been a great little build , a nice quick kit with some nice detail and with a few enhancements and it gives a good result , heres some pics to round off the thread and I'll put some more on a Completed thread , thanks for following , cheers tony
