Thanks Jack. OC. -
Evening all, more progress this eve, first I found some thin grey-ish wire I cut it into lengths that seemed about right, then I drilled a small hole in the end, then I pushed it over a plastic pole protruding from the front part of the starter, then I coiled it around the handle and added a touch of ca to hold it in place. Next I assembled the oil bowser tank, after painting I did the same with the hose as I did the wiring earlier, this time I coiled it round and looped it around the drum of the bowser and connected it to the feed assembly. So here is a family photo showing all the bits done so far. OC.

Evening all, another item was made earlier in the shape of a ground power unit - basically a power transformer in a box with a handle on wheels, I still have to come up with the power lead - this I will make from some 5amp black wire. Next up will be a oil tank. OC.

Better then to mask off the (Painted wings) and not have to mask the polished fuse. OC.
-
If you can - do the wings first in the paint finish you want - then concentrate on your magic on the fuselage after, will be easier to mask the wings to then do your metal work than the other way round - just my 10 pence worth. OC.

It reminds me of the old (80-90s) American Airlines polished metal scheme (used to love that scheme on MD11's. OC.

She looks great Denis - credit to you for keep going and overcoming some of the hick ups you had, she really looks the part now. OC.

Thank you denis. OC.

Evening all, I managed to get a bit more work done on the tractor, I am basically making it look quite bashed up dirty with lots of use, as I asume they would be. OC.

I agree also it looks really good, I think what might be distracting away from the fine finish is not having the rest of the plane completed - then it will really shine through and look mighty impressive. Your doing a fine job bro.👍 OC.

I have owned two french cars a Megane and a Citroen ZX, both quite decent cars. OC.

Thought I should mention that at 1/48 scale these things including the jeep are actually quite small, the jeep is about 2 - 3 inches long, and my pics are quite close up showing more than 1/1 scale. OC.

"Hey brother" - I'm liking that, I so get where you are going with this it will look Stunning. OC.

There a faded grey/black but deffinatley more towards a black side than the RAF Blue - the light (strong from above) probably didn't help. OC.

Very nicely done Denis - she came out just fine. OC.

More progress this evening - first I bashed up the Jeep with washes and high lighting, then I painted and added "Red" the setter, she jumped up on the jeep and is sitting on the rear seat waging her tail, excited by all the activity. Next I continued with the tractor adding more washes and building the engine that was then fitted in place. Pic shows the dry fitting of the engine cover. OC.

Hi mate, yep I have a bit more weathering to do to it yet - but not too much my dad used to tell me "if its still - paint it - if it moves still paint it". OC.

That is looking really smooth - you did really good with those intake joins. OC.
