Just caught up on this one again Francesco some stirling work there mate and in 1/72 I feel so inferior keep it up

[Guest]

Thank you for stopping by and writing.

Cockpit completed (lower part). Unfortunately I sprayed some primer over the cockpit floor, even if not visible I will try to recover.

Landing gear complete.

Tomorrow some pictures.

Almost as promised here are the pictures. I'm saying almost as the pictures where taken yesterday before recovering the cockpit overspray I think I will just lighten the seat cushions and that's it.

In the meanwhile I started to paint the windshield interior.

Bye for now,

Amazing work Francesco, only a little error and easily rectified. Lucky it wasn't on clear parts. The cockpit looks great, as do the wheels with the extra bits.

Another catch up for me Francesco, and again you have produced a wonderful set of pictures to highlight this amazing build.

And at 72 scale, you've already done far more than I would ever attempt (and I *like* doing things the hard way!).

I wouldn't be concerned with interior detail mistakes, there's more than enough good points to take away the bad.

Can't wait to see the finished product...

[Guest]

Thank you mates and believe me, it looks better in the pics.

Working on the avionics on the cockpit roof now.

Little teaser...

Looks fantastic Francesco. So much detail, it is a shadow of its former self, in a good way.
