Here is the Black widow with it‘s decals.  I still need to add more decals on but I figured I photograph what I have for now.  Thank you for looking!

Toshi, sorry I've missed quite a few updates on this build but man is this looking good.  Love all the resin upgrades you've put on her, especially the resin cowls and engines.  Great work so far, and looking forward to seeing the rest! 

Cheers, Mark

 

Yes, I agree with you, the resin cowl and engine look good.  It took some time to do the engines as a whole.  But in the end, it was extremely gratifying.  I think I should be done by the end of next week.  Everything is going as planed.  

Thank you MrStecks for taking the time out and having this repoire with you.  I most enjoy our conversations with you sir!

Masks on, ready to prime and paint.

I could sit here and stare at your'e engine work for hours!

( Actually 56 min. to be exact.)

Cant wait to see them in paint!

 

I'm sending wave's of Good Karma for Mrs. Toshi. Hope all is well.

Getting the resin propellers prepped.

Addition of PE ignition wires.

Both engines pre-prepped.

 This is what I used for the pushrods.

Starting the next engine.

Hey Toshi, you are zipping right along with this build.  Looks like you are having a lot of fun.  You are very handy with that PE.  Have not had the pleasure yet.  You make it look easy.  Somehow, I doubt it is.  

Looking forward to more,

Your Friend,

How have you been?  Fine I hope.  Yes, I am zipping right along this build as it’s very familiar to me.  I am having tons of fun building this kit.  The PE looks like I’m handy but, it’s really not.  It can be a challenge in finding the PE parts then to assemble some of them, a PITA!  But it’s very rewarding when complete.  This kit has quite the PE parts to add on.  I’ll be showing more in the upcoming threads/posts.  Thank‘s D‘man for the support and the read and replies.  I greatly appreciate our conversations!

Toshi

Here is the prepped engine.

I have to assemble each piston two pushrods.  This will take a while.

Resin cowling pre-prepped.  Next, other resin cowling pre-prep.

Toshi

Here is the difference in the resin cowling and the OOB cowling.  As you can see, the resin cowling has a slightly higher stance with more detail.

Hi Toshi,

 

Real pro job there. I like your clean organized bench, must be habits learned as a chef.

Some of the earlier pictures show the nose gear sticking straight down, but in the last couple it's hard to tell because the bird is flipped upside down.

The real deal has a very characteristic forward slant of it's nose gear, like so:

You'll want to check on that.

 

As for the nose gear, on my build there is a slight slant already built into my kit as you can see.  So this is the correct stance.  Thank you GMorrison for the heads up, it worked out great.
