Default RE: Skymaster L39 build

Hello

I neglected to buy any brake tubing which has really held the build up as I'm unable to start doing the final installation. While I'm waiting for the postman I've started to turn my attention to the scale details. The probes have been made as described earlier and Ive applied burnished aluminum tape to all the control surfaces where they exit the wings and stab from. This was initially just a white plastic that had a poor finish so some careful sanding and the application of rivets has really enhanced its appearance. The whole airframe has been flatted back with 0000 wire wool ready for the weathering process and application of some custom decals there's literally hundreds to apply which is going to take hours of intricate work so not looking forward to it.

The flash spoils the photos, it look much better in the flesh.

Cheers, Alex
