and some inside framework and instruments:
since the fit of the bay doors was horrendous, i filled it in with melted styrene and sanded them over. should scribe the panel lines later:
Looks cool so far!Which kit of the GO-229 did you use?I recently built a 1/72 scale PM models GO-229 that came out nice,although the kit is very basic.My double-action airbrush made it easy to paint the grau-violet and green mottle!
Cool, can’t wait to see more of her

these are the originals for a mold. the bits that will actually go on the plane will be resin. even though i think the wood texture would look great on a jet and all…
