Last squad of eight Curtis Hawk FBC aircraft nearing completion, then i can move on to the hull work. These little devils are two parts of resin cast (not that great I might add), two PE wing supports, two wheel supports PE, one propeller PE, I had to scratch build the wire wheel supports and make the tires. Painting was several coats of grey, yellow, red and black, sliver on the props. Decals on wing tops (was a second decal of red dot that went over the star, this time I painted a red dot.. why didn't I do that on the others??). I tried numbers on the hull from my decal sheet, both sides of the fuse. I refuse to add them on the others. These airplanes have taken me about two weeks, just to get them out. I have no clue what I am in for once I get in to the deck support structure. If I start drinking, I will lose my manual dexterity and thats not good. I love my job.
