You better wait untill the finnal asembly of the parts before you paint the dielectrics in order to paint them.THe nosecone is green and the unpainted part is metallic or some silver or something similar.

"Unpainted" part was painted is grey,precisely Hu 127.I painted it in that color,just that would be not left with no color,and that part is not seen so much when model be assembled. :-roll
Now i'm paint it in silver and thank you for your advice. :-flo :-flo

Both sides of the fuselage are joined.Assemble is great,almost no need for puttying. :-tri :-jump :-jump

Sall, you might be able to use .005 sheet styrene for those vanes. I've used it for similar items over the years with good results.

Keep up the good work on this project!

If you don't have styrene at your disposal you can always use beer or coca cola can :) just cut the can and flaten it down.It suits this purpose very well.
