Brilliant! I can just imagine the engine lines going into those tiny holes on the port side of the firewall. Cheers!

Hi Chuck,
I watched a couple of your builds over at Finscale Modeler, this build reminds me a bit of yours.
Nice to see you here at Aeroscale.

Hi everybody,
...and thanks for the comments! I was away from the bench for awhile. We had christening in our house, and a birthday party (yip, it's me!)... so I didn't have much time for work. However, I managed to do something today, and I am ready to post some images. I made the engine bearer using the Aires BMW-801 set (which is fairly complicated), but I had to scratch the rods from plastic. It needs more refinement, but we need to be patient as well.
I also started removing all the unnecessary details in the undercarriage bay, upper and lower wings... which will all receive more scratched details in short time. You can see all from the photos, so I don't want to waste your precious time! I hope you like it so far!
All the best,
Entoni

Wow Etoni - simply stunning my friend.
Sorry if you have already answered this - but I'm curious as to what you're using for your photography? Specfically what camera, what aperture and what ISO. Your photos have great clarity and depth of field.

Hi Matt,
If I only could answer your question, my friend... I am total idiot regarding photography. Only thing I know for sure is that I am using Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 camera with macro zoom enabled (but I am not using macro zoom each time)... That's all I know
All the best,
Entoni
