:-ok

Exhaust stacks are so prominent on these inline engined machines and most folks don't spend enough time getting the coloration right, in my opinion. These will certainly have the right "look".

I agree with you, Scott!

Well, thus after Gunze H47 and Citadel Colors brown ink, I've drybrushed with Panzer Aces Light Rust and finished with another drybrush, with Citadel Colors Boltgun Metal. I like the look of those exhausts. Of course, matt varnish will be needed but later in the building...

I have also painted some details on the cockpit parts.

Pébéo Gloss varnish airbrushed; then oil wash with Abteilung 502 "Wash Brown"

...And big work this morning: assembly of the elements of the cockpit!

In the Brassin Essentials box, Eduard provides seatbelts made in fabric. There are marvelous...
...But I did not use them; because the use of the very fine and souple fabric elements with little buckles is a hard job; too hard for my shaking hands... If you are a totally zen man, use those fabric seatbelts; result will be stunning! For myself I used the PE ones.

Assembly asked for concentration and calm. But the result is fabulous and the insert comes smoothly in the fuselage.

Some adjustments have to be made under the cockpit insert, but nothing too important.
