Stefano,
Thank you very much.I'm glad your learning from my thread and other modelers as well. Passing along information,techniques is part of modeling just as building and history are.

Evening All,
A little more progress to report since my last update.In this update I've been work on the main wings ,landing gear and the gear bays.
This first series of photos is the completed main wing assemby.

With the main wing now completed it's time to start work on the landing gear and the gear bay.

The landing gear and it's internal reinforcements.

Once the L/G and its reinforcements was completed they were installed into the gear bay.

The last photo above was posted as a joke over at LSP,with the caption "Guess What This Is" Last time I checked only one knew it was a Macchi 202,but nearly everyone guessed it was Italian based on the landing gear.

That's all for now fellas.Thanks for looking.
Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Stefano,
I not certain yet. The wheel bay color will depend on whether I choose an early series or a late series. Early= Green,late = Gray.
