Almost ready.
This weekend I placed the ventral antenae, the coolers under the engines, fineshed all the landing ger including the doors.
And placed some of flaps and airbrake actuators.
The tail wheel was a funny affair. I was worried that merging electring wire with white glue would result in a weakness. Considering that my plnes are supposed to last 20-30 years, it's a valid point. So I made a experiment, tried something more, and when I realised, the tail wheel no only was finished, but it can turn left and right like the real one.
The main wheels are made of balsa wook, the rear one is a plastic wheel taken from a 1/144 Space Shuttle nose gear.
So, just remain to do the rest of the antenae, the rest of the actuators, one last layer of ghost gray RLM 65 Hellblau and, of course, the torpedos.
My only regret is that I didn't reinforced the wing strong enough.
But, it's too late now.
What I can still do, is to build a better bathtub under the cockpit. Or improve the current one
