Since the engine was still a tight fit with more parts, I need more space under the cowling .... and finally destroyed the cowling! So a new solution was needed!

20 January 2018, 20:22

Marcel Klemmer
Crazy, absolutely crazy....

20 January 2018, 21:54

Spanjaard
holy molly... "a new solution was needed"... looking fantastic... i wish i could have space for this kind of tools 🙂

20 January 2018, 21:57

Peter Straka
insane! IMO the new cowling looks much better than the original part

21 January 2018, 19:21

Alexander Grivonev
Amazing👍

21 January 2018, 20:42

Bastian Bäuerle
Looks good! If you have the necessary tools at home you can do everything you want!

21 January 2018, 21:23

Erik Leijdens
Amazing...

21 January 2018, 21:27

Spanjaard
you also need to know how to use them... and no doubt bughunter does 🙂

A little bit of progress with the fist primer and color.

28 January 2018, 19:59

Martin Oostrom
I wish I had the tools, I wish I had the skills, I wish I had the talent, etc, etc
Another top job Bughunter.

Peter Hardy
Three wishes Martin?

29 January 2018, 03:16

Martin Oostrom
Nah, too many to mention when I look at the Bughunter's work. Didn't want to highjack his build thread and get banned by Tim

29 January 2018, 06:14

Peter Hardy
Lol!

Greg Baker
Is there an emoji for just standing there in disbelief with a bit of drool coming out of your mouth?

29 January 2018, 11:58

bughunter
Thank you mates for your nice words! Martin, sometimes my macros are very detailed, to show how I have done things. May be it fulfills some of your wishes 😉

29 January 2018, 19:21

bughunter
Some progress with decals and first weathering.

4 February 2018, 21:36

Martin Oostrom
Sigh.
Gorgeous.
Thank you for all the lessons and inspiration!

4 February 2018, 22:09

Spanjaard
wow, finish line is very close now.... i agree with Martin of course

4 February 2018, 22:40

bughunter
Thank you, my friends! But I think it will take time to cross the finishing line, some wooden parts to be done, some details missing, rigging, engine finishing and mounting. I will add some text to the pictures.

5 February 2018, 19:20

Spanjaard
we will be patient 🙂

5 February 2018, 19:26

Peter Hardy
This is wonderful Bughunter! I will try to be patient.
