Absolutely first-rate work! Your leather effects are particularly convincing - some of the best I've ever seen.

What markings are you going for on this one?

Semper Fi Mac!!!! Since our last meeting I have added the radiator and the details to the top on the fuselage. I'm trying to get her ready to paint. I did paint the radiator and top cowling.

Jim, what can I say... As long as I live, I will never stop getting a kick out of seeing the eagle, globe, and anchor plastered on things. ;D

Those little generators between the cabane struts look so cool... but that had to be an annoying place to put them from the pilot's perspective! I love how the gunsights are waaaaay off to the sides in order to see past them.

Is the photoetch gunsight a kit item? WnW kits seem to come with widely varying amounts of brass.

Norm, those drive the fuel pumps, believe it or not! The pitot/static tubes (for airspeed and altitude) are on the inboard right wing strut.

Re: WINGNUT WINGS DH9a WIP UPDATE#4

Well it's been a little while since the last update. I have been working on some of the details like painting and decals that need to be done before wings and rigging. I still have more to do, but here are some pictures of the progress so far. Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.
