| Instrument panel of real S.E. 5. Trying to observe the way the top of the panel is cut out as well as the absence of a bulkhead behind it. |

| Good afternoon fellow modelers. Today, I was focusing on the framing around the instrument panel as well as cutting out one of the bulkheads just behind where the instrument panel will be located to help fit the Vickers machine gun as well as following the scale outlines of the real cockpit interior |

| Remembering how I over sprayed the decal last time, I held the spray can away a bit more. This is the result. I liked the :soft edges from the loose masking. Another lesson learned. |

| Loosely masked over the ribs with paper allowing for the pain to spray under just a bit to help give it a "soft" look. Living in a small apartment doesn't allow room for the convenience of spray guns along with compressors, air tanks, etc. This is where imagination kicks in... I think |
