Looking at this picture I would surmise that the wings are silver .Struts and fuselage are white.

Cleaned up the proposed decals . Still some work needed.

This will be a slow project.

At least you can print on clear decals film.

Was looking at the Instone Airways one which is has white registration on Blue .

Definitely the black on clear is the way to go .

Have sanded the tail group to shape. Using basswood.

I don't think I'll go down the path of detailing the interior but will do the side windows in clear.

Lots of doped thread needed for the wings.

Tail group shaped and primed. Getting ready to apply doped thread method.

Fuselage requires a bit of cleaning up before thinking about the interior.

4 blade propeller roughly done. Pretty happy with the result so far.

A little bit has been done.

Pretty quick fuselage . Slab sides and curved top.

Still thinking about the interior.

Tail group done . Bit of cleaning up to do.

Wings are next.

Looking good Gordon.

Got one wing shaped yesterday. I'm experimenting with putting a "slight" under amber in by wetting it and putting it around a former to dry.

Lots of elastic bands.

Going to leave it for a few days.

Gordon

Boomerang · April 15, 2022, 10:14:30 PM

Cleaned up the propeller so it doesn't look like a 4 blade ducted fan.

Have started on fuselage interior. One wing has been shaped and primed.

Found some "O" rings the right size for the tyres.

Picture to follow.

Cheers

Wheels have been turned up.

Windows have been installed. I have decided to just clean up the cabin and not do any seating.

In process of making up a cockpit interior.

Pushing on slowly.

Novel approach to the interior. Looking forward to more progress shots.
