Rasta, "Has anybody realize that they prob spent more on tools and things than they do on the card models?", yeah, the tools you buy and the tools you make to help the tools you buy to build very small things. After a while you re-discover them in the "tool" drawer and wonder what was this for? Beau-coo one use tools, all hand made... can't do anything without them! KEEP BUILDING, we'll follow with keen interest!

Welcome aboard tfsg..this should be an interesting thread indeed. so right on the fact that we are making tools to suit our needs or never visioned as use for our hobby (**eying those old dental tools**)

anyway.. i decided to postshade and paint a wash to the cockpit area to let the "elements" seem more natural and added the trim wheel (?) here is my progress report zen masters...

I am really impressed with halinski kit. Very strong and VERY accurate. worth the $$$. going to get the 190a-8...cant stop .Anyhow all i managed to do was this...

thanks pete...its much pleasure for me to build and post pics for others to share in my build. working on other side of cockpit. will post some more pics as soon as i am finished with the side.

**flying rasta** · #29 01-27-2013, 02:46 PM

so finally i have finished with the other side of cockpit. i am sorta getting use to cutting small parts out and actually gluing them together.cant wait to mate it with fuselage so i can cover main fuselage area...as an inspiration of course...if anyone has built this particular model, is there any tips as to covering fuselage?...wooosahhhh. trying to learn patience..

here is pic of the cockpit side.

Cheers and one love.

Nice details, Rasta!

Yeah, Halinski is a very good editor, and you can always learn more about an airplane by building it.

Keep on going!
