Starts looking like a plane. Another coat of primer will follow, then rescribing and polishing.

Taking a seat and I keep my fingers crossed that the building will be joyful and successful, Michael!

Can't miss an IF project 👍
That windshield is terrible - what's your plan for it?
And most importantly - are you going to build Lady Agnes? 🙂

Hi mates. Nice to have your interest and you on board. Thanks Zbynek. So far it took much more effort than I expected. Lets see how it continues.
@Mr D: childhood memories. I suppose you build it in scale 1:100? VEB Plasticard?
Lukasz, I bent and glued it und sanded it flush afterwards. As I will use the Authentic Airliner decals for the cockpit windows, they do not need to be transparent.

Good choice Sir, the AA window decals are super cool.
Unfortunately some of their livery decals have some errors.

Yeah, I was surprised by the fit issue too. On the upside are definitely very fine and consistent engravings which I hope to preserve.
And - by the way - it won't be Lady Agnes¹. I like to represent the plane I flew to Moscow with. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of this particular aircraft and am thus not sure about it's actual registration. The history of some a/c is available to me, so I can rule out some. And I photographed two parked IL-62M too while taxiing which I can rule out too.
With these informations I ruled out registration: SEW, SEC, SEF, SEG, SEY and SEK. So right now I will go for registration DDR-SET.
¹ a word for those not familiar with Lady Agnes. She is obviously an IL-62M too and was flown to Stölln. After being stripped of everything unnecessary she landed on a 900m grasstrip (how on earth did they manage to get a permission for that?!) and is used now as a Cafe there in it's original Interflug livery.
You've never heard of Stölln? It is located in the federal state of Brandenburg, about 40km west of Berlin and is the oldest aviation site on earth and in the history of mankind. No other that Otto Lilienthal tested some of his gliders there.

Oh, a very personal project - watching! Sorry, I digged so deep into my build that I missed yours.
So I'm now in and good luck!
Regarding putty: I'm now a fan of Tamiya light curing putty which hardens quickly with UV light.
If wee meet again I like to hear more background about this trip and can provide other insights 😉

Looking good, really nice shaped Airliner 👍
Do you use the black to find imperfections?? Or is it a pre-shading??
I'm in process of building the Veb Be-6 Soviet flying boat, and may help me to do similar.
Thanks for your uploads... Like anything from Soviet era n russian.

Welcome mate. Always nice to have you around.
Yes, Mr D, I use the black primer to identify imperfections as the grey one is too close to the plastic color and with the white one, flaws are not that visible. The downside is that it takes a lot of color to cover the black. So next time I will most likely go for a lighter primer color.

Thanks 👍👍 for letting me know, l built the Yak-3 made by Zvezda, lit was quite nice to build, some of the fine parts were really accurate, but then it was bit gapy around the wing, but otherwise pretty good.

Like the plane and the livery you are going for.
My two cents on one or two aspects: I found the brass undercarrige and the cockpit section you listed as aftermarket pretty useless. The undercarriage doesn´t solve the problem to ease the alignment of the landing gear and the cockpit section doesn´t provide any better detail than the kit parts. I set both aside and rescribed the soft outlines of the cockpit doors. Pouring transparent resin into the cabin windows gave a nice flush appearance. You may consider that.
Good luck with your build. I will follow with keen interest.

Thanks Michael and Nicolas. As my second kit to build, I thought I spice it up a bit with some aftermarket stuff, indeed, the new cabin with the new windows gave me some head scratching as to how install it, then figured it eventually out. My alignment looks a bit messy and I hope u can make it look aligned with putty etc… so far my opinion as an inexperienced builder is that you could safely leave it stock, as is….
I did not come yet to the brass parts and hope it will be better with these parts. Let's see 🙂

Following this challenge.
The Aerocraft cockpit will require a lot of sanding, but the original windshield is definitely too narrow - been there, done that 🙂

Calling it complete for now.
Overall I enjoyed this kit, tricky to paint the red stripes and the nose was not properly done.
As a beginner I probably would not recommend the cockpit mod unless you have the proper tools, which I was missing sometimes 🙂
This was brush painted and spray can paint from revell I purchased with the kit to get started, meanwhile upgraded my collection with Mr Hobby and MRP. Revell is just awful for airbrush and mediocre for brush painting, but then again, I am no expert.
Unfortunately the „twotter" has some slight tilt, one of many mistakes happened during the build, but I'm happy I did not have to bin the whole thing 🙂
Cheers and onwards to the next one. You may deboard now…

Making mistakes and learning from them is a big part of this hobby. It helps that there are a lot of folk here, who already did the mistake part, so you can do the learning. You're well underway in that department.
Well done for a 2nd kit Stephan.

Definitely a nice livery and a good result for a not so easy kit. One small big tip on paints is to thin them considerably - no matter if brushed or sprayed. Going for several thin layers emproves the final result significantly. Took me a while to heed this advice myself.
