Freak Love the weathering on this beautiful model! And the instrument panel is incredible for 1:72! How did you paint the gauges?

Joseph Russo Thank you Frank, The instrument panel is actually the decal provided with the kit I was just very careful with alignment and used several coats os setting solution.
Joseph Russo Thanks Villiers it's been a really good build the engineering is very well thought out. Most of the parts fit like a glove, I had only one misalignment with the lower radiator hose but even that was minor. The wire assemblies are also tricky to bend into correct orientations. Mine are not perfect but I am happy with them. Thans for your interest.
George Williams Coming along nicely. Are you going to paint the fuel tank?

Joseph Russo Thank you George no like the frame it is molded in the gull grey stipulated in the instructions I just polished the glue seams most of it will be hidden under the body when complete. I will paint the straps black using a Poscar paint marker.
Villiers de Vos Booking my seat as well. Thank you for sharing your workspace as well.

Joseph Russo Thanks Villers I noticed you have built the 1/12 Fiat which looks great So far the kit has been kind to me. I just cleaned my workspace as it was a mess trying to keep it organized and clean
Joseph Russo Micheal Mirko is correct I packed the front of the engine cells with pellets of Liquid Gravity. It was just enough to change the balance.. Its a gr8 kit and zi am anxious for the D to be released in 1/72. Thank you both for the kind comments.
