That is some nice looking exhaust

Thanks, Clint!

Those exhausts are a definite improvement! The brass strip will be good if the real aircraft had such a feature.

10-4, buddy! Looks like the real aircraft did.



Tonight I will open up the exhausts on the other half. I would like to pick up my pace on this project slightly, so I may also cut open the area for the rear section canopy. UPS will deliver supplies to me today - sandpaper and paint, basically. I’m going to sketch the paneling on the fuselage after I prime both halves.

Wow, what a tremendous improvement those new exhausts create! Way to go Bruce! I'm so looking forward to seeing more magic coming from your bench!

[speedgraflex]

You’re the magician, Mark, perhaps we all are to an extent. I sent a message to you about the upcoming hobby day. I hope to attend and spend a few hours with this kit.

[Duke Maddog]

That would be awesome if you could attend. I understand if difficulties get in the way. Still, if you do come, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much you get done while building alongside fellow modelers.

[speedgraflex]

Duke, best laid plans… plus further thoughts on Heinkel’s exhaust design.

[Handiabled]

Great looking mods so far on this Bruce. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next

[Duke Maddog]

No worries Bruce. Looks like you have the exhaust design well in hand.

[speedgraflex]

Brent,

Thanks so much for writing. I truly appreciate your comments.

Likewise, Mark!

I think I could add front and rear caps to get the flavor of what is an entire piece of framing. We shall see.

[speedgraflex]

Hey! I worked on this. I worked on both halves of the fuselage, thinning out the cockpit side walls, opening up the canopy area, etc. I applied Silver Gray Milliput in a loose wet mix to fill in gaps and cutting imperfections.

Wow - lots of work there brother. Maybe you can sell it back to them to make correct moulds
