Don, Orazio, thank you very much.

I try to show as much my techniques as possible in my build threads so that modelers like you can duplicate what I've done.

Then I've glued on the wheels the slightly conical sides and glued the wheels on their place.

I like this tip of putting both wheels together on the Dremel. Makes a lot of sense, in that your able to get them both looking the same in one go. Will give this a shot on my next set.

buffalowings: For brown fuselage I used brown wash Citadel miniatures paint - a very thin acrylic paint, used for painting wargaming miniatures. For black I was using a black waterproof marker, though someone lately told me that they change colour with age, so now I use black acrylic paint. If there were other colours I painted the edges with appropriate acrylic paints.
I'm happy You like it

Wyvern: Thank you

I discovered GifSoup - a free online tool allowing for creation of animated gifs out of youtube movies. So my first trial of this:

My 4sec movie on youtube showing Morane Saulnier rotating engine is perfect for this.
