Ben MHow did you shade the ribs like that? Beautiful build of an old kit. The wheels are a remarkable illusion. Did you 3d print them?

Joachim SeidenbergThank you guys! The wings were just painted one colour, the "shading" is the surface detail of the kit. Wheels were transparent mouldings with the orignal Inpact boxes and I painted only tyres.
Later reissues moulded them opaque.
Inpact was high-tech of the sixties and I still rate them among the best fabric covered model airplanes.
Cheers Joachim
