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

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

Dmitriy Andreeshchev
Update:the main hull mostly finished!

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

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Great work !!

Spanjaard
excellent!

Bernhard, 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!
