    P.S. It was only now the updates became visible to me...
    Strange...

    @fiveten, thanks, Spiros. Strange those updates do become visible just after some time.
    @airbum, snow can be quie heavy on such a large area. But I cannot believe that even a DC6 with snow its tale will become a tale sitter.

    @fiveten, thank you, Spiros. Still need to open up the air intakes. Quite a lot of work with four engines.

    Nacelles do need some attention on the seams.
    Also made a start on opening the air intakes.
    Two intakes per nacelle, four engines, quite some work.

    It’s definitely keeping you busy, @johnb, but details like this make all the difference.

    Lots of work to open up intakes, but rather satisfying work I think?
