The post shading was fun. Ordered a .28 HS Evolution needle and cap for my HS Ultra airbrush. Really makes a difference for me. I can see the needle and make adjustments as needed.
Using Vallejo for almost everything. The flow improver helps a great deal with tip drying and leveling.
Going over the struts and found one broken. My careless handling of the sprues was the cause, but fortunately the broken piece was still attached and a little attention with cement solved the problem. Will be getting them into the paint booth after a bit of prep work.
Happy modeling

Got the upper wing on and let it set overnight.
Had a go at the PE rigging thinking it would be relatively quick. Nope, the PE is not for me. Scratched the connection points with .10" sheet styrene and 1 lb. Fishing line was used to make the bracing cables. The cables were painted with several layers of black with a spot of blue added. After this Tamiya weathering pastel light gunmetal was mixed with water and applied with a brush for a steel finish.
Happy modeling,

If I may ask, what went wrong with the PE lines?
I had one wing rigged with the PE, started the other wing and couldn’t get them to set correctly. Was getting glue everywhere and the final straw for me was one of the mounting points came lose and went awol. I thought it looked pretty straightforward and to be fair i was using thin CA while the instructions call out using thick CA. It probably would have been easier

Thank you for the reply. You are correct in assuming the thick CA would haver performed better. Nonetheless, your plane is looking fantastic!
