So I will have to fix that. But that should not be much work. Then I shall make some better pics with a neutral backdrop and really call it done.
I’ve read that those cowl retaining metal straps were painted when the aircraft was built, but then the paint flaked off due to the flexing of the bands while removing the cowlings for routine maintenance.
