Not so fast i wanted to be,but some more progress here.

 

 

The decals are too big at the first version.
The Reynolds logo at the wing and the 4 smaller stickers at the side are much too big.
I ordered the decals a while ago before i started with this.So i dont proofed the size of it.But my buddy Michael printed me some new ones with a better size.
Thanks!

 

 

This looks way better and i go on with the clear coat.

 

 

Looks good and i painted the wheels and rims.Still need some weathering.

 

 

The cockpit gets some additional aluminum parts and a gear changer.

 

 

The trumpets are painted with alclad black chrome and look very cool in my eyes.

I hope i will finish this till Christmas or before the year ends.But my wife told me she got some other projects for me.
Hmm....will see whats on top of my list.  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Many thanks for all your comments.Thats fuel for my motivation.
