    The lights look great to me, Bernard @lis
    Also the frames of the transparent parts look superb after mask removal.

    thank you for your support. Sometimes it seems to me that the simplest things cause me trouble.

    Usually those issues happen at the end of a build to me as well, Bernard @lis
    They can be very frustrating. You clearly show how to correct them nicely.

    @lis, the canopy looks great. Just some dust. I always make most mistakes towards the end, i start to rush things. Patience is key!

    @lis, by the way: What kind of wash do you apply and how?

    @fxrob modelers World medium brown. Very good.

    And after few correction, mistakes and few grey hair more Bristol Beaufort is complete. Tomorrow I hope I will build small diorama.

    Few photos of details. I feel bad yesterday, so I make diorama today. As always I trust of Airfix manual, but Wheel has a little to small holes in hubs. I discovered it during instalation, so I live it as it is. Next theme is wheel covers. They need a little sanding before instalation. Instalation pins are a little to thick. despite my best efforts, the chassis geometry is not as perfect as I wanted.
