Finished the cockpit. All that remains there are the pilot and observer.
The rib lines on the wings are a lot crisper than the other kit, so I used a brown Sharpie to "paint" the ribs. Then I sprayed the whole assembly with Testors 'Radome Tan', which is a good substitute for clear-doped linen. Next I painted and mounted the interior parts, then painted the wood decking. This involves a technique known as "dry-brushing". The lighter undercoat is either sprayed or brushed on, and allowed to dry, then the darker topcoat is dry-brushed on. This involves dipping the brush in the paint, then painting it onto a piece of cardboard or paper until it's almost dry. What's left is painted over the lighter color, leaving streaks that hopefully look like wood grain.
Sorry there are no intermediate pictures, but once I get started I tend to forget stuff like that.
From the front: Engine mounted.
Right quarter view: An idea of what's inside.
Rear view: Here you can see the instruments (only two of them - altimeter and airspeed indicator).
Close up quarter view: On the left side of the cockpit you can barely make out the spark-control lever. Rotary engines didn't have a throttle. The engine was either on or off.
