The office is just awesome Guy . That second picture, of the real aircraft, it shows you how to to paint stripes with a mop AOr maybe even, just add paint the butt of your overalls and slide over the wing Bottomizing a plane : explanation; to paint the butt of an overall black and slide over a wing while holding a broom soaked in white paint in each hand.

Thanks Tommy. Today I was busy with the construction of the air intake parts when I noticed that Eduard provided a rather simplified central visible part in the opening, in fact nothing but a hole. For the other versions from B to F the correct and well detailed parts were provided. After a little research on the net I found aftermarket stuff photos usable for copy-scratchbuilding.😈 After measuring, cutting and sanding and making the parts slightly conical I was slowly getting there (thanks to a gun mantlet from the spares box and styrene tube). Four more parts to do and we can proceed.😅

I'll check if there's nothing more to add in the mouth of the beast which is do-able to me.

Last week's progress. Don't mind the ejector pin holes, they won't be visible.

Thanks my dear neighbour. The visible radiator part was given a very light weathering. I finished with metal pigment for a little bling. I had to order RAF paint colours so I'll put this on hold for max 2 days.
