Thank you, but it is Eduard's PE parts which did most of the work. It really helps. There was a minor problems with them cause these were self adhesive. For my experience this is not the best way for PEs.

That is some really great work David. I know the parts are already 'there', but some great skills and a steady hand is not far off. Most enjoyable to see. 🙂

Thank you, I found a great mistake with landing gear (it is to bevelled and narrow), Working on fixing it.

Thank you. But photos with flash show all mistakes🙁. I'm still using only brushes, but I'm getting ready for airbrush. It will be my gift for my 50th birthday 🙂 next year.

I agree that photos with a flash show up any mistakes that you can't see with your eyes, my view is if I'm happy with the result then that's fine. I'm still using brushes as well and have only just started to mask so I'm hoping that I can get better results with canopies. That aside, I think that your Zero is really good. 🙂

With all this awesome work done. Did you resolve the issue with the landing gear. ?

Yes, I have to cut off the gear and slightly move it to the middle. I think that was my fault because I used PE parts for the gear cover and they narrowed the shaft. Now it looks better. Useful experience for me.

@To Guy. Yes I'm using masks too even for brush and it helps really much. Using thin brush and I'm satisfied with the result.
