Scaled from a 1/72 scale model. Templates make it go fast. |

Next up, brake flaps. |

Of course. These look far better than the cast pieces. In fact, this entire build looks great and the attention to the detailing is superb. Adding the driveshaft is an inspired touch. |

Thank you, David. Unfortunately due to my recessed gear bay mods, the cast resin pieces were too short. I tried to extend them with styrene tube and white putty, urggh.. but the line up for struts, just didn't look right. With your approval of course, I will offer the extra set of cast resin pieces you made for me to another builder of a Mossie or P-39. |

Lovely, lovely work. This is going to be stunning! |

"Uni-pod" landing gear? |

Front landing gear bay installed. |

Thanks. Rivets are made with a push pin on the back side of .10 styrene using an aluminum ruler as a guide. Once painted and clear coated (future acrylic polish) a watery slush mix of umber, black and some dawn dish-washing detergent will be applied and then wiped off when dry for weathering. Chicken foot dials, knobs, and switches etc. will be touched up by color if necessary. |

Nice detail. Rivets are cool. CA? |

Almost ready for base paint. Will try to match a close "Bell" green. Will need it for wheel bays also. Where the hell is my color wheel? |

The cockpit bling is looking very nice. The drive shaft is a very nice touch |

I can hear it now, "If you get any of that fingernail polish smelling stuff on that new oak table we will be shoppping for a new one today!" This is the voice of experience! So cold outside I moved indoors too. |

Eyes need a little help. 2x magnifier allows better viewing of resin part cleanup. |

Details starting. Modified exhaust and Front landing gear bay. Resin parts courtesy of DD. Thanks, David. |
