Not sure this is applicable (or accurate for that matter) but I found this information on a Ju88A flight sim document...

Didn’t the Ford Tri-motor have gauges on the nacelle?

[Medicman71]

Yeah they're gauges. The Hs 129 had them on the outside too.

Great work on the cockpit!!

As others have said, yep they are gauges. The Pro Modeler version I built a few years ago came with decals to put on clear parts. I also had a tight fit around the cockpit. If you haven't tried fitting them yet I remember the wings were a great fit.

Thanks so much for the information guys! Sometimes my Google Fu isn't very strong.

Now she's looking like an airplane!



I was also able to prime and preshade the panel lines.

[Floki]

She look really good all together now.

Looks ready for camo! How did the engine nacelles fit? As I recall, I had to do quite a bit of sanding and putty work to make them fit on my G-6 build.

Thanks guys!

John I didn't have much trouble with the nacelles. I had a seam on the halves to sand, and had to wiggle them around a little bit to get a good fit to the wing but nothing too serious.

[Stuart]

That's looking good.

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted any progress. I don't know why, but my builds always tend to slow down when I get to the paint stage. But, I finally have her painted.
