Interesting subject. Nice work on the interior.

Oh, a kit from my favorite area of interest. I'm in. Great start with the instrument panel.

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 🙂

I am happy to take a seat! I personally find red liveries extremely difficult to pull off, so I am watching with great interest!

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

Taking a seat. And fingers crossed that the strength and motivation will last until successful completion!

Nice result!

This came out fine 🙂 A typical color combination. I love the red interior (on my bug too). What are those license plates? To which country do the belong? I never saw a red rear plate.

Perfect finish! Ein schöner Käfer!

Good job indeed.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

@Christian W - the license plates are from Ireland. I wanted a licence plate to suit right-hand drive, but also a change from my usual choice of British plates.
