And low and behold... The wheel spats!

Yep, made with Aves 2-part putty and sanded to shape. Masking them for the white flash is going to be a pain...

Did you do anything with the cowling? A lot of people saw it off and thin the walls before re-attaching. I sawed a bit of a trench and then used a plastic cutter to scribe on an angle and create a bit of an overlap. Seemed better than taking the whole thing off.

Basically did the same - used a scriber on an angle to add some depth and thin the edge at the same time. Happy with the way it worked. Also opened the front air intake and added a cylinder (used the Tiger Moth kit as an example).

I'm glad to hear it worked. I saw some builds where they sawed the whole front end off and I was trying to figure out why exactly... seemed like a workable solution and I was happy with my result... but it's always nice to know someone else ALSO thought that was a good idea. I'm also planning to open the front air intake and add the cylinder, so I'll be watching closely.

Thanks - yes, she's pretty well done, just need to take some decent photos.
