The model has been aged and weathered by highlighting the joints of the panels with 2H and 4H pencils, diffusing surfaces with graphite powder and dry brush techniques, here and there, coating the whole surface with a final layer of transparent matte polyurethane varnish to soften the marking and the brightness of the decals.
Contrary my usual procedure, for the maiden flight I have only enabled the pilot, his seat and the upper cover of the instrument panel, conditioning the execution of the laborious cockpit to check the correct operation of all systems, flight and landing. If everything turns out to be as expected, doing the instrumentation later will be plain sailing. I apologize for this concession but, when is a model ever finished?
