Today was a lot of little detail painting getting ready for final assembly. And I did give my Molotow Chrome Pen its’ first use on the oleo strut areas of a few items. All I can say about that item is “Wow!”. I will not use anything else for those items again
The finish line is in sight and just ahead now…

Looks good Stik. Make sure you do not touch the molotow when attaching the parts. Interested to see if the shine will last over time.

Very nice! Molotow has a great shine to it, but ya - doesn't like to be touched. Then pen applicator is just really handy for some stuff.

Thanks for the advice. I can already see where the Molotow dulled a bit when was test fitting the other half of the nose wheel fork. But it’s really easy to touch up that stuff. And fortunately I will say those oleo areas should not get any handling…

I am at the 98% done mark now…
I just need to add a few final bits tomorrow and I can call this completed!

Looks beautiful Stik. Did the kit come with the RATO bottles or is that extra?
