I drilled out <strong>the</strong> locations for <strong>the</strong> spark plug wires. I used<br />

soft brass beading wire for <strong>the</strong> spark plug wires. I was a bit<br />

disappointed with <strong>the</strong> kits engine.<br />

The guns were made from .080<br />

inch rod and <strong>the</strong>n drilled out.<br />

The engine parts were all airbrushed and <strong>the</strong> engine was<br />

assembled. I <strong>the</strong>n added <strong>the</strong> spark plug wires. I <strong>the</strong>n<br />

attached <strong>the</strong> engine to <strong>the</strong> cowling, glued <strong>the</strong> cowling onto<br />

<strong>the</strong> fuselage and added <strong>the</strong> propeller.<br />

Proper planning, good assembly, painting and decaling technique combined with patience<br />

can make all <strong>the</strong> difference when you are <strong>building</strong> a kit with as many challenges as this<br />

model had. The addition of Eduard’s prepainted photoetch set really enhanced <strong>the</strong> models<br />

appearance and I am hooked on <strong>the</strong>se detail sets! I should have also<br />

purchased aftermarket decals.
