 The decal fest continues the Shark face,some no hold here markings were added along with the crosses to the fuselage the lower wings upper surface had two small decals added as well. The lower wing was then fixed to the fuselage and the whole aircraft given a coat of matt clearcote to tone down the decals. The first of the engine mount struts were cleaned up, painted and fixed in position.
The tail surfaces come next the fin and the tailplain were sprayed and then given a gloss clearcote, all then had decals added top and bottom as did the two elevators. Once the decals have dryed out they will be matt clearcoated before fitting to the fuselage.  arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Very cool ... and great job done until now. I have from them the Fokker E-I in my stock ... but some fears to start it, even it is one of the more easy kits form Wingnuts. No idea why I have an obstacle in my head to start the kit .. But I will follow your build here with great interest These 2 words open all doors in your life:
Press and drag!

If I had followed the instructions I should be building the engines now but I like to get the bigger WnW kits on there legs first so the undercarriage and tail skid have been added along with the tail assembly and bracing rods apart from the rudder. The weighted wheels are nearly ready to go on after being painted and the decals added. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

The weighted wheels have been fixed in position and the wheel covers added just the rigging left here to do.
The two Mercedes engines were prepped, undercoated and assembled. Some light weathering has been added oil around joints and components and some dry brushing to the radiator faces.
Not going to go over board with the weathering as you are given the choice of cowled or uncowled engines and I have opted for the cowled option. It would have been nice to have a half cowled option too ie one side cowled and the other open. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
