    Mate, don‘t get put off. It’s just putting plastic together in the right order and painting it the right colour, like any other kit. If you can lace spoked wheels you can nail rigging no danger….just think ahead so that any holes you need are there when you need them.

      Thanks for that mate The instructions do give a reference for the rigging, I will have to study it carefully.

                Its not that its overly difficult,just requires a bit of thought and patience which you have, for me to have any patience I'd have to become a doctor:smiling3:

                  Not a lot done engine is started and the instrument panel.

                  I am impressed with the Eduard plastic and the details everything goes together very nicely so far.

                  I still need to add the pin wash .

                  I tried to get a wood effect on the dash. I painted the dials brass then added the PE dial faces then sealed them with gloss varnish.

                  Any suggestions from the wingy guys I would love to hear them.

                  cheers

                    Nice start Scottie. The dash is particularly effective.

                              Scottie, it's the detailed grundgy weathering of the dashboard that the wingy guys often can't do. You've done it realistically. I like the brass work.

                              Cheers,
