    This is really starting to look like a 109, Spiros (@fiveten). Radiators look nice.

    Indeed…seems that paint part is just around the corner 😉
    And is that an Hellcat in the background?

    Just caught up to your Emil build bloopers and all, Spiros@fiveten. Looks almost air worthy now. What do you use for screen mesh?

    That for sure looks like an upside Hellcat in the back. For the JS group?

    Thanks my friends @gblair, @holzhamer and @eb801! The Hellcat is an 1/72 Eduard, a present from my friend @lis and entered in his USS San Jacinto Air Group 51 project in the Pacific GB:

    For the mesh I used tulle cloth (used in bride's dresses or so), my friend @eb801.

    Always a good idea to let LqS set properly 🙂
    I think the amount of time you gave it is just right..
