    It always seems to take longer to paint the small stuff than it did the whole model, Bernard (@lis). The small bits are looking good.

    This time it took me an exceptionally long time to finish the engines. Not because there were a lot of parts or difficult assembly (although there were some small corrections), but painting was complicated. Engine was painted on steel. Interior of cowlings in silver, and green-blue-yellow cowlings. Finally, it turned out that the left engine had some streaks after painting, which I tried to remove with polishing paste. Here is the final result.

    PS.

    Few code from build.

    The engines look great Lis @lis, and the painting really made them look good. This build is coming together very nicely.
