They are probably a little big and the black line too thick. Their shape is inspired by the front legs. Quote Quote The small planes at the front are painted on a piece of transparent decal. As a model for me, a DH2 side crocodile and a RE8 on the other. Note that the position of the air vents is not correct when compared with photos and decoration. - The springs that close the hood are made with a bulb filament. It is not seen... - On the radiator, the "thing" to do. - The mechanism that synchronizes the propeller and the hood machine gun is redone. - The hose connecting the tank to the engine is copper. - The brake is equipped with cables, a front, a behind. The train rests on bungees, it is nylon 0.2mm. Normally they are packaged in a protective cook as on the B II. - At the level of the articulation of the wing of the dragon, it is necessary to add the circular trapdoor. - The wheels are sanded to be less thick. The support of the signal flares is made with a piece of plastic and aluminum food tray. The turret is arranged: two handles, a support for the machine gun. The one provided in the Eduard kit is too long. I cut it in half. I put two mirrors, one on each side. The controller and the rod in front of the windshield are to be added too. The machine gun is resin and comes from Eduard. Very beautiful but a pity that it lacks the support. It is difficult to hold and fix in front of the ammunition drum. If you fix it like mine on both sides, check that the turret is still in its place. The crutch is Eduard's. Very fragile, it must touch the fuselage, otherwise the fins touch the ground ... This is the case at home where the support of the aircraft. I do not see how to do without disassembling the fins, so it will remain perched like that. All the build The build: Le montage : Regards.
