Got a start on a rare aircraft build for me. Got to say I am impressed with the Quinta decals.

What the hell is this? Where are the four wheels? 😉

I know, Frank. The new year rolled around and I got confused and grabbed the wrong type of kit by accident. 🤣

Cockpit all done. And we've closed it up. Seams look good. Some sanding and I think we'll be ok. Maybe a spot of putty but it looks pretty smooth. Also got a start on the engine.

I have made some more progress. Mostly stuck together and resembling something that flies. Engine is done enough for me as none of it will be visible. Just did a touch of brass on the pushrods to maybe show some contrast through the cowl but it'll mostly be invisible behind the cooling fan and spinner.

Cowling and engine installed. As anticipated the engine effectively disappears. I'm hoping at least my shiny pushrods will show after everything is installed. The cowling was in 5 pieces which I find rather annoying but there it is.

I have been remiss! Forgot to update this when I painted it. My first mottling attempt. According to photos of the real plane I've found, it was painted in a softer, messier mottle than the polka dots. I'm happy with what I've got. Decals are now also done. Awaiting final drying and dull coat.

Well my wingy thing is complete!! I don't build them often but it's always fun. Really enjoyed this build.

Thanks guys. Neuling, anything specifically you'd like to see? I will just typically do some photos from different angles. But I'm happy to take more!!

Some close up pictures, including the interesting cockpit, would be welcome.

Very nice build with a great cockpit, Kyle 👍

I can try to grab a few more Neuling. The cockpit is pretty hard to photograph all closed up so that's why I tried to grab some photos before I installed.

Thanks very much John!!

Thanks! I'll try to grab a couple more through the cockpit.
