I built Eduard's "Jugs over Italy" a while ago and it was a pleasure to build. It looks like you got off to a great start with the cockpit. I'm looking forward to see what comes next.

Hi mates,
You are all welcome 🙂
before I can start with painting the surface I have to sand down some areas with raised panels on the fuselage 🙁
after I´ve done that I´ll have to engrave the lost panel lines – so that will take some time cause I´m not very experienced with that
meanwhile I protected the nice cockpit with cardboard and tape - better safe than sorry 🙂

I added a thin layer of white primer to see if all the lost panel lines are visible again
next steps are planed for the weekend
