Thanks, mates!

Here is today's installment, just the yellow cowling and the propeller and tires were painted. Perhaps some gloss tomorrow night, maybe even decals!

Last evening I sprayed the green, then this morning I woke up early, brewed coffee and painted the mottled colors. I LOVE Italian camouflage colors!! Later I still have to spray yellow on the cowling that is still in primer.

Time for grey on the bottom and the nice white fuselage band and crosses on the tail:

I think, looking at the one color photo I have, the wheelwells are lower surface grey. I will investigate!

I've spent a little time on this the last few days. First I fitted the windscreen to the fuselage--this was a bit tricky since it's a vacuform piece, but the fit wasn't too bad and it went well. Then I finished building up the landing gear assemblies. Classic Airframes made these from white-metal struts and photoetched doors and mounting brackets. After that, a coat of Grigio Mimetico on the gear assemblies and windscreen frames and it'll be time to start prepping for camouflage!

Yes, lots more to do, but it is satisfying to see the original grey surface!

Those wires hold up the headlining material. The headliner is sewn with little pockets in it and the wires slip through to hold the fabric up by spring action. I think there are five wires, maybe six.

Here's the reason I have not been contributing to LLL much lately--more work on Ingrid! I finally finished stripping the interior back to the original, here are a couple of photos of the left rear and rear window area. The interior is now completely done. Then I started on the outside. The paint here is not as nice as the inside, but I will use the original grey as the basis for my repainting efforts.
