Rather than going through the hassle of taking multiple steps to finish the surface, I decided to use lightweight glossy plastic sheet

I realized at the very beginning of this build, that the profile of the Guillow's S.E. 5 at the nose had too much taper. I decided to alter its profile to reflect its more "boxy" squared-on shape. In doing so, I enlarged the front end, as expected, when compared to the kit's provided plastic cowl.

Landing gears installed. Much of the detailing will be hidden by the wheels unless someone pays (very) close attention.

Some lacing from my wife's sale tags. Lightly painted white to allow some of the silver to show through. This is to be used as "faux" rubber shock cords on the landing gear.

Fast forward to landing gears, bullet shaped fairing, and brackets in place and ready for installing to fuselage.

Landing gears and struts during the early build. Used basswood with several coats of varnish. That white "thangy{ being held by the needle nose pliers is the rough shape of the pilot's head rest.
