Work on landing gear doors and some later will continue on the same lading gears

Here you are current situation- main parts of landing gear completed as well some small etched elements. I apply black surfacer and paint in flesh color top surface of wing. This color is more or less similar to Soviet wood protection coat, which is visible on image of subject I working on (some area have worn out paint)

Last fit before painting. Note on one image blur green spot on wing surface- this is Gunze Sangyo masking fluid and I will try it for damaged paint areas. First thing I will do is white bands, today.

I make one flap and some later will make another one. Simply I can not believe how stupid is flap spar made- from three separate metal strip, which need to be sloted into ribs and create box. This could simply made by one piece bent on two lines and it will be easy and absolute precise. It is not problem for me to make it but is it made for dozen of us in the world who can assembly this or modeling is still hobby for many?
