Impatient for more! 😉 Have to wait for the clear coat, then general assembly, then rigging, adding missing parts (engine, cowl, wheels, door) and details (Pitot, antenna, steps, wire antenna, etc.) and then... decaling, that may take a while due the Post Office Maelstrom 🍥 🌊 that has been relentlessly delaying and/or swallowing my mail. Sigh... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 The wings are given their landing lights, their navigation lights, the very small masts at the tip that will anchor the antenna wire, the flap scissors, and the pips that come from the fuel tanks. Once in place the Pitot will be added to the left wing. Not in view: a clear coat has been airbrushed to the whole model, and the rudder nav light added: 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Masks are off. Engine, cowl and main wheels are in position: Tailwheel, tail rigging, nose climbing steps, exhaust are added: 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Thanks Jeff It's 6 mil ceramic fiber. We have discussed it a few times in other threads. It comes from a vendor in the US (I have no ties of any kind to them), but you have to call them (US time) and sort out your info and payment. 1 (802) 885-3094 Comes as a coiled fiber of a few feet per package. It's not cheap and you have to add postage, but you better get several packages if you build rigged models. It comes with instructions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wishes are... not my command, actually, but this one is granted to you nonetheless : Now, Arctic decals: superb printing quality, full carrier (you have to cut each motif individually), depending on colors and such, different types, ALPS, Laser, etc., thin (you have to be careful) but will tolerate sensible handling. They have a very nice range of decals. I have been acquiring and using them for years, and I am a very satisfied customer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
