Now I go for the upper piece of the wing. I have to put the exhaust stubs before putting together both parts of the wing, because you have to put them from the inside.
I had also made the holes in the exhaust

Hi Daniel
I agree the cockpit is beautiful.
Also a little thing really about one of the previous pics.
I am always surprised that such a small mod such as drilling out the exhaust stubs has such a big impact.
It's the pefect illustration of how 'a little can go a long, long way'.
With the Arado and this....twin can't waits.

Hi Steffen, do you have this kit in box? I heard that the Nautilus wingspan is excellent

Then I went for the transparent pieces. The kit come with mask for this. It´s the first time I use it, it´s wonderfull. You have mask for the inside and outside part of the glass,

Fantastic stuff, Daniel! I have this kit and really love it. I also have the wheel well and bomb bay sets- might as well get the engine set, too- right? Which paint scheme will you use?

Hi Daniel , coming along nicely Were the canopy masks easy to apply? Looks like it saves a lot of time also Bob

Hi Daniel
I have two kits and 3 cmk sets ... IIRC I also have the cockpit set from Eduard .. would have liked a resin pit too .. now I am thinking about the Nautilus stuff, but it looks not that stable (the Fw 200 set is nice)
cheers
Steffen
