STEP BY STEP

Excess oil paint can be wiped off using various cotton swabs or it

can be washed away with a brush dipped in oil paint thinner.

Using a splatter brush dipped in a thicker mixture of black and dark

brown oil paints, the weathering over the lower part of the engine cowl

was simulated.

The weathering was sealed with matte varnish before final assembly.

I did not use the matt varnish on the metal parts of the engine, so

as not to destroy the effect offered by the silver color.

The last step before the final assembly was to paint the edges of the

reduction gear with a light gray color.

Finished individual

subassemblies and

components before

gluing.
