Almost ready for final painting. A touch of filler and 400 sanding first. |

Two coats of light grey liquitex primer |

Cowling gills added. A little filler and sanding should do the trick |

Making of cowling gills from scrap styrene. |

| Thats the ticket! no mater how much effort you put into a scale model this size, the first thing that catches the eye is the business end!! Its a shame flying scale models cant always carry a prop that does justice to the workmanship and attention to detail that goes into the rest of the aircraft. top stuff mate! look forward to seeing it finished.:) |

This was a Master Airfix 9x7 prop that I trimmed down with a Dremel after gluing on the scale design from plan sheet. |

Hopefully a little sanding can smooth the fairings out prior to paint. I really didn't enjoy this part of construction. |
| moostang51, Image # 2412 | 11 Feb 07 18:35 |
Fairings, armorplate and landing gear installed. |

| Used their tissue with wet covering method. Hope to find a little heavier tissue for the next project as a couple of tears happened when stretching and smoothing. I'm hooked on the wet though as one sheet can cover a lot more area and contours to all the curves much better. 60/40 white glue for the adhesive and two applications of 50/50 "lite-dope" for the sealing. No more sagging, but whew! what an odor. |

| Looks very good Moostang. Covered with the kit supplied tissue? |

| You certainly should be! Great work!! |
| moostang51, Image # 2393 | 04 Feb 07 19:02 |
Thanks David for all your hints. I'm very happy with the final construction. |

Coloring to be from the Saipan Theatre with olive markings on a sea foam green background. Well anyway I'll give it a try! |
