Thanks! Getting back into the groove after the week off at camp, working on steps and other details for the little cabover right now. Fuel tanks shortened and steps/straps/cap detail removed for replacement with more accurate items. Steps and grab bar above door made from brass and soldered together: 1/32" wire, slices of 1/16" tube, short pieces of 1/64" x 3/32" flat bar and 1/16" channel for the two step treads. Painted Testors silver to simulate aluminum (as opposed to chrome) finish:  |

With modelling time very limited in the past month+ the heavy spec K100 was main focus of what time there was, getting back to the W900's now.    Exhaust in place on the circus wagon, complete except for mounts to upper corners of cab. Kit parts used for exhaust piping with the exception of stacks themselves which are K&S aluminum tube.  Intake piping and rubber fitting attaching it to turbo replaced with styrene tube. |

have to admit I like them all, but the "circus wagon" has to be my favorite one out of the three

I'm really liking it too, especially with completion getting closer. (BTW I haven't forgotten the Aerodyne, right now it is in the stage of putty/sand/repeat on 3 fuel tanks  ) Bumper scratchbuilt from styrene to more closely match cross section of 1:1 part. Bolt heads styrene detail parts from Micro-Mark, step is slice of Evergreen rectangular tube. AMT kit fog lights fitted:  Swing plate also .020 styrene, short pieces of .025 styrene rod used to represent piano hinge:  |
