Thank you Stik, lawdog114 and Dwayne.
The oxygen mask was just some putty added to a resin pilot from PJ productons:

First the easy question (though it wasn't easy to do), the spiral was spray masked, using a combination of thin strips of Tamiya tape and liquid mask. I still had to touch up with paint brush afterwards, as well as rely on the brush to get the curve at the very tip of the nose.
For the differences compared to the G-10, there are a lot of minor details only apparent when comparing line drawings. The two main ones would be the short leg tail wheel and shallow oil rad intake on the G-6. Other details addressed on the FineMolds kit:
- rudder should have curve to the bottom corner
- oil access cover on port side nose is lower
- access cover on starboard engine side is lower
- add vent louver on starboard side below foward cockpit window
- eliminate access cover on rear starboard fuselage
- no antenna on wing underside
- eliminate pair of bulges on underside of engine
There was no way I was going to attempt to scribe in new access covers in 1/72 scale, so I just made the details out of clear decals. The red cirlced ones are the neccessary ones, while green are just to improve detail or added due to loss from sanding the fuselage seams.
regards,
Jack
