| I would like to start off this posting by: acknowledging and expressing my sincere thanks and gratitude to DD. Sorry, but I had to say it on the forum. Now, more than ever, I can understand such professional modelers defer to him. Thank you, DD. In this view, I'm starting to do a couple of things. I've decided to photograph the airframe against a black background to help bring our some detailing. I've already planked the lower wing and test-fitting onto the fuselage. |

| I dipped a small paint brush into silver pain and dabbed it onto a paper towel until it was almost dry and then dry-brushed onto the stock accessories to give them some highlights. |

| Stock of the gun. The hole is when I accidentally pushed the pin too far in my attempts to simulate rivets. this is okay, since this part will be hidden. I apologize for the slightly blurry image. |

| Using my best guess (eyeballing), I figured the stock to the gun would be about j"just so big" and cut a block of balsa wood. Used left over plastic cut and scored to shape the stock. Then used a pin to push out some rivets. |
