Jorgos, I'm familiar with your models and your attention to detail. I'm simply speechless.

Best regards,

Magnificent engine, but I think you had better check the tappet clearances on #3.

I am really amazed at how you can tell from so far away. And you always seem to focus on the third cylinder...

Rather slow progress, but progress nevertheless...

The masking for the wooden frame took well over three days. With breaks because it is quite a boring and terrible task. No pioneer aircraft for some time for me please.

Did not take many pictures just two of the fuselage almost masked and the result afterwards. That purpple stuff is Humbrol Mascol, a stuff I hated when I first used it but now thoroughly use and recommend.

Lighting conditions do not help to see the difference and I could/should have sprayed the darker shade a bit more. Not going to mask again and redo. What is done is done.

Also regretted gluing the covering to the uprights and crosspieces in some places. Does not look that good... I thought it would be more natural not to have it pefectly taught. Wrong...

Next is masking for the Avro lettering on the fuselage sides and the wing bottom surfaces.
