It is a pity that the plastic canopy is not available. It would spare much work.
The construction is progressing nicely

The engine detail is great!

Wow, the seam lines on the nose are practically invisible even on the up close shots. Any special tips to offer there for us? Great work.

First of all, I must thank you and the previous audience for their praise of my work.
The nose and tail designer of this aircraft have adopted the same approach. You can see that my Mosquito model used some special methods. To be honest, this Willie the Whale does not use any special methods. I only used a steel ball to slowly massage each petal on the sponge pad until their tips and sides can make even contact, but the premise is that the knife must be cut accurately along the edge of the parts. You know, in order to solve the problem of making parts with similar designs, I specifically collected a batch of steel balls with rods to massage them, which have various diameters.

In fact, the progress of this model is not as fast as you imagine. If we ignore the pause time during construction, I have actually been working on it for a month now. I just posted out this month's work together in a few minutes today. So, from now on, you won't see such rapid progress again. I will try my best to finish it within the next month.

The outdoor in winter is indeed very cold. I just insisted on spraying them well and quickly went back to my room. I feel that the effect is still worth it.
