Thank you all !
Unfortunately I didn't have much time for modeling lately, but in a few past days I did some progress. I started to detail the engine, first step was to make the oil cooler pipes. The base is copper wire, all connections are soldered, the detailing up ( rubber hose connection ) is made from Tamiya masking tape.

The machine gun barrels are made from an injection needle, first painted with flat black, the gun metal look is achieved with graphite pencil ( HB )
