Just a quick update on the Betty for today. I managed to steal about fifteen minutes this morning to get the engines installed and then get the nacelles wedded to the aircraft. I weathered the nacelles last night before bed so I could at least get this far. The propellers were mated to their cones and I will try to get them installed tonight or tomorrow morning. I may even get the photo shoot done tomorrow. We’ll see.
Ever So Close

Thank you. It’s all masking tape and a sharp knife to thank.

It really is sometimes. I find holding them up to a lamp helps quite a bit.

I never would’ve known. 48th scale is a new language for me. I’m stuck in my 72nd scale bubble!

The ‘chippings’ are very effective, is that an ordinary silver colouring pencil or a special art pencil you use?

I use a silver Prismacolor pencil. It’s got a softer lead than a normal colored pencil does. Super handy to have around.

Anytime! It’s a great tool. I use a brown and black one from time to time too.
