I feel I've fallen off the planet too. Glad to see you back with some progress here. Hopefully real life will cut you a break. I love the work. It looks awesome.

Man! I can almost feel the heat coming off those exhaust manifolds, Joe! Nice work!

Nice work Joe. The metal shade variations and the exhaust manifolds look great. I'd like to hear your technique on the manifolds - wash, pastels other ? Hey John. I started with a base coat of MM flat black followed by a very light coat of MM rust acrylic. I painted the exhaust pipe ends with flat black but not the whole face of the outlets as I wanted to simulate the pipe edges instead of just painting the entire face of them which would have resulted in a less than realistic result. After I got through with the outlets I went over various edges with a silver lead Prismacolor pencil and then dry brushed black ground up pastel over the whole exhaust manifold. To finish up I used some ground up brown/ tan pastel verrrry lightly dry brushed over the whole manifold to bring out a slightly faded effect.

So the build process goes onward with test fitting the engine, firewall and ammo boxes into the fuselage and test fitting the lower wing into place to make sure everything is going to go together. Yeah.....I can work with this:

The wing span on these always strikes me as enormous. (I see another fuselage together behind this one)

Thank you guys for all of the kind words. I’ve been out of town this weekend with my wife on a getaway but will be back in business with this tomorrow. I’ve been working on this one steadily for the past couple of weeks but nothing that would mandate an update. I should have something worthwhile this week though.

I've been working on this part now for the last couple of bench sessions in the morning. Got the opening cut out and working on fitting everything in right now.....

Looks great Joe! Nice you have gotten some progress happening. I'm working on the same area with mine but it's nowhere near picture stage yet

Hi Joe
To my shame I have just realised I have not commented on this at all.
Obviously my work situation did not help but that's no excuse.
I love the work you have done on it so far. The cockpit is looking the bees knees!!

Thanks fellas. I'm still pluggin' away at that tail section and hoping to move on to the finishing touches in the cockpit soon. After that......well.....we start putting stuff together so this thing will start looking like an aircraft.

For the past week and a half, I have finally found time to get back to the bench. Lots of filling and sanding and re-scribing panel lines along the way. Nothing pictures worthy as of yet as far as that is concerned BUT......I did manage to get the IP finished. Dudes and Dudettes ......these 3D Quinta decals really are all that. Just so you'll see that I'm actually getting some work done on this:

Beautiful Joe. Those Quinta studios sets are so good. My new favorite thing for aircraft. Great to see you get some time in on this.

Coming on nicely Joe!
Those Quinta decals do look nice. Although I've not used 3D decals yet, I've got a couple of sets in the stash and they look much better than the Eduard PE sets.... Not that the Eduard sets are bad, in comparison they lack depth.

Awesome!! I look at this and then at my 152 and my wings are so short (-C1) and I now feel completely inadequate.
