Good evening

Yesterday I placed the instrument panels and the seats then I glued the side walls and the flour and placed this "bathtube" on the right half fuselage

That’s great progress, Patrice. Watch out for the poor fit of the wheel wells when you get to that stage.

It's looking good so far Patrice and the fuselage artwork should really lift the finished model.  It's hard to see what the artwork options represent from here (apart from the black head), so I look forward to seeing more :popcorn:

 

Cheers

Bonsoir Patrice,

 

great little kit and a plethora of exciting paint schemes related to the Algerian war.

Have you got some hardware (AA52 gondola, rocket launcher stubs, etc.) to fit under the wings?

I could not find any so will finish my own in Aeronavale markings, without anything hanging underneath. Better than nothing!

Keep at it! Great work so far.

Bonsoir Patrice,

 

this is superb! Great painting and the decals do indeed give your T-6 a life of its own.

Well done.
