One of the wing walk lines broke on me, and had to trash it, I won't add the other one.

Is it a red or black line ? If its black Airfix decals sometimes use a thin black stripe as a border on there decal sheets. It is also a decal and can be cut to the length you need. If you need red, Hannants and other hobby shops sell different size and colored stripe sets just for stuff like this

It was a red decal. It doesn't matter though, it's a small detail that won't affect the finished model.

Excellent side project. You need to start up a thread for it. It would go well with my He 111 thread. Have you used Aires resin parts on it. I have one of these with the resin wing parts and new engines. I might do it in the Battle of Britain GB next year.

The WIP thread.

Bad news, I broke the propeller, not fully, but I broke it. I managed to reglue it with CA though, but it's because I'm rushing to complete the model. I shouldn't do that.

More progress, though braking the propeller has made me lose interest in the build. Still, I'll keep building it because I want to finish it. After that, I'll clean the table and focus on something else for some time.

I shouldn't have glued the wheels with to landing gear with the glue still fresh, so many things I shouldn't have done, but still did in order to finish the plane quickly.

Paint on, prop on, gear on, you're in the home stretch!

Yeah, but it's a poorly done model in the home stretch, wish I had had more patience.

Patience will come over time. Do yourself a favor, take this build when your done and put it someplace that it is always visible. Study it and ask this question from time to time. “Why am I not happy with this ?” Then make a list as to what those answers are. Once that is done place the model back where you can see it everyday. 
      Now take the list and slowly one by one try to improve your next build until you're happy with what was on that list. Once happy check the box next to that skill and move on working your way through your original list. Eventually you will have improved both your skills and your patience in the process. When you reach the point you're happy then and only then remove/replace this model with a new one done with your improved skills. That is how i slowly built my skills to where I'm happy. Im still trying to improve some skills and will someday be happy with them also.

Hello guys, I came back from a trip to Salta (Argentina), and decided I'd be able to live with how the propeller looks, so today's work was adding the landing gear doors. Next things to be added are the clear parts.
