I was going to go with the OK-VHC registration as a soft whif, but as OK-GUY is an unused registration that's a definite ... maybe.  ;)

This build is on a slight pause while I get over having the lower wing pop off.  :-X

I realised that I'd forgotten to fit the small struts between the top of the lower wings & the fuselage. 1st one just clicked into place, 2nd one & the lower wing just clicked off.  :o

Fixed now but I'm a tad irate & the mojo isn't flowing - it's there, just dammed up by the anger.

I'm sure it'll be back to business as usual in a couple of days.

Ouch!  :o

Sometimes the 3D world just conspires to dick you around. Good strategy to wait until the jaws unclench and the mojo returns of its own accord  :smiley:

Eased back into it this morning by fixing the paint around the wing joins & the struts, plus a couple of other tiny spots.

Not quite as good as it was, but still pretty good.  :smiley:

Wings are on!  :D

A bit of filler required, so some touch-up paint will have to follow, which means more masking to prevent over-spray spoiling the rest of the paint job.  ::)

Tail-planes next!  :smiley:

And it's Photo Time!  :smiley:













A little bit of clean-up work required, a gloss coat & some final bits-n-pieces (you know, like the landing gear & engine  ;) ).

Feeling quite optimistic about a near-future finalisation here!  :))

Haven't done the rigging, yet, either, as I'm waiting for payday, when I've got some generic PE rigging in my BNA cart to order in, as the An-2's rigging is flat metal strips, not wire (which I could do now with EZ-Line).

Still have to paint the wing & tail tips, & the markings for the emergency "cut here" panel - & the wipers, too.  ::)




Cheers, guys!

That’s fantastic!!! :-*
That paint scheme really dresses up the Colt. Some decals will really finish it off.

That is one snappy-looking paint job! And beautifully done, to boot  :smiley:

Won;t be long before those kits in the fuselage are delivered :smiley:
