Got this old PM Models kit for my Finnish project

Parts display. Few and not well detailed parts. It will be funny!

Restarting after some delay. this PM Models kit is rather details poor so I have decided to self build interior parts. Plasticards walls are used after they have been shaped.

Panels have been scribed over the nearly neat surfaces of the models in an effort to make the model more realistic. Will it work??

I have the other PM boxing of the XXI. Looking forward to watching your progress!

I have the original boxing by Pioneer. Sadly my decal paper is as yellow/orange as the Dutch markings on it...

Thanks guys. well... in reality I have issues to find the 'white 2' decal in 1/72 along with the FR-97 mark. Almost all the decals sheets have a black 2 which matches a winter livery which don't fit with the (apparently) confirmed story of Dec. 1940 when Sarvanto shot down 6 Soviet bombers in a raw. He is supposed to fly with an upper side 'forest green' livery. Interestingly there is a nice 1/48 sheet which has that (correct) mix of elements. I then decided to ask a friend of mine to prepare a mask for me so the 'white 2' will be painted... Kit will start early April. Stay tuned.

WIP after a long delay for some personal problems. Realising that this kit is quite poor in terms of details I have decided to self build interiors with plasticards walls shaped according the fuselage. Taking as sample another better and detailed kit I will then try to reproduce as much as possible and then glue the walls into mine in the end. Let's see the outcome of this experiment eheh. At worst, I will darken and hide it to your eyes 😉

When I do the basic interior of my XXI, I will do the fuselage steel tubes with polystyrene rods. I don't think much will be visible anyway....
