Cockpit and engine looking marvellous, @glenn73! Have never done leads before, but I may try them next time, thanks to your pic tutorial.
All the best!

That makes such a huge difference to the rather simple engine! Very nice indeed.

Hello again. Lots of work going on in this group build. I thought I’d better get cracking. So looking at the engine I decided to move a few leads to the spark plugs. I was going to paint the moulded leads on the engines but they wasn’t very pronounced so I just moved the wires.

I love the way engine wires look Glenn (I'm struggling with my PE engine harness at my Tsurugi).
The Eduard flaps look great and are worth the effort.
Your build is progressing perfectly!

@glenn73 great update - the attention to detail in your build just won't stop! Keep those updates coming,

These old Zeros were top technology back when they hit the shops, late 70s I believe, and the fit if parts is still better than some 2000’s plastic around. Your build is coming along very well indeed. The scope for extra detail is there and you are making it worth. Good job Glenn

Cheers Pedro, your right this isn’t a bad kit really. It was very cheap so if I wrecked it while I was Re-scribing or riveting it wouldn’t be such a big deal. the only thing is you would’ve lost all that lovely invested time. I thought I wounder if I can polish an old turd. And so far it’s not bad. Hahahah.
