Thank you for your feedback! 🙂 My experience with the model was quite good, although it does have its problems.
So the cockpit front and rear window is thermoformed, the rest of the sides window clear view parts however printed from a more or less transparent resin, which is not transparent out of the box. This has the disadvantage that it is less clear and the steps that were present due to the SLA print first had to be sanded and then polished to be really transparent.
On the other hand, the main part of the airframe is made of an elastic resin while the rest is printed from "normal" hard resin. This has advantages in treatment, as well as disadvantages. For example, fitting the side windows is not easy, as they do not match the airframe frame 100%. Also, the sanding of the airframe is strange and more difficult than the hard parts due to the elastic material. I also tore a window frame in the process. Otherwise, all parts must be sanded on most surfaces due to the SLA 3d print stages. In addition, I have done a lot of detailing myself using reference photos, since the kit contains only the most necessary parts, but with beautiful rivets. Due to the hard SLA resin, the nose wheel broke off several times. On the whole, I would recommend the kit and the manufacturer VFR, although only for experienced modelers. Unfortunately, I did not take any photos during the building process, because I had to hurry to be ready in time for the wedding.
