Cockpit painted and (maybe over-) weathered

Fuselage glued together and wings added. This shot shows the radiator section hollowed out and some mesh added so you can't see through it.
12 April 5, 2021
Float glued on - a lot of filling and sanding required. Floats already painted as the tops will be hard to get to.

Decals added. Lots of small white markings that don't show up well in the photo, as well as the insignia from Blue Rider - I went for the EFRS markings from the English language version of the book

Album info This is the EFSR (European Foundation for Scientific Research) Ar-190 floatplane from the Tintin book The Shooting Star. Its based on the Revell 172 kit with an Eduard photo-etch set and a Quickboost cowling. As it is meant to be a civillian aircraft I've also tried to demilitarise it by getting rid of hard points and guns.
