    This one I repainted three times and it is not perfect. Also shade of yellow looks different on each propeller.

    In manual at first I have to glued main gear struts, and next glued upper engine covers. So I need extra masking of this parts of undercarridge. Unfortunetly covers has nasty gaps.
