Dmitriy AndreeshchevAn update: Completed the main body, restored the corrugated surfaces, masked! Started to work this engines - those require a lot of refinement!

Dmitriy AndreeshchevUpdate: finished the engine subassembly! Very difficult part of the build, lots of cleanup and filler, and strut attachment between engines is extremely fiddly!

Bernhard SchrockVery remarcable result especially the NM finish! The numbers on upper side of wings: airbrushed or decals?

Dmitriy AndreeshchevBernhard, I used decals from the kit. Even considering tha fact, that they were a bit old and with some cracks in them, they worked good. And thank you! My gratitude also goes to Alec K, Julian, bobinspokaloo and Spanjaard!
