The cockpit is very puritanical, but unfortunately there is not enough documentation on it. The fit of the parts is very poor and needs a lot of filling and sanding.

My biggest issue was fitting the seat and the mid portion of the wheel bay, had to add 1 mm plastic card on both sides. Looking forward seeing it done! 👍

komoras, I encountered the same problem: the landing gear bay cannot be fitted where it is intended. I used a milling head to remove enough of it to fit.

Interesting aircraft, interesting build.
Incidentally, I would suggest 'Spartan' as a better way to describe the cockpit rather than 'puritanical'. 👍

Thank you!
Something I noticed after the model was finished: the drawing in the painting instructions shows a circular hatch or cover on the top of the fuselage, in front of the cabin. At first I thought I had sanded it down and not scratched it back, but in that photo, when it's not primed, you can see that it wasn't on the fuselage. I don't know if it was on the original plane.
Also missing from the right wing tip is a pitot tube or antenna, which is visible in the original photos, but I didn't notice it until too late.

In view of the start of this build, I was tempted by the following motto: "From ugly duckling to swan": the kit offers a number of interesting challenges, but gives an idea of the potential both as a model and as a representation of a true aircraft beauty! I will try my best to make the swan appear....
A first challenge: roughly moulded parts, poor fit and a wing that wants too much in a positive V-position.... A second challenge will follow in the form of a Vacu canopy that has turned yellow with age; this will give me the opportunity to try out the doing in Vac-canopy myself. More of that next time...

Great job with the putty party and vacuum canopy 👍
What thermoformer did you use?

This look like an intriguing project, but she's definitely a putty queen! I am super impressed with the vac-forming!

Thank you very much for the answers, mates! I'll show you a few new pictures from today: the surfaces have been reworked with 2000 grit sandpaper (even if it may not look like it, dusty as the "duckling" still is) to prepare it for a first coat of paint. This will certainly show the need for correction! 🙂

New pictures of the current state of construction: the 'Baby Clipper' still looks very dark, but in the next step it will get an 'Azur' blue underside, which will be completed by 'Middle Stone' and 'Dark Earth' on the upper sides. Since prototype photos already show this machine with heavy signs of use and weathering, I will endeavour to achieve a similar look here.

The 'Baby Clipper' has lost some of its elegance with all the rods and struts, but has gained in authenticity. A certain amount of effort is required to reconstruct the entire antenna equipment - not exactly a small amount - but also the structurally necessary struts: the kit manufacturer Azur does not provide any information here, let alone that it would put material for this in the box. The entire superstructure at the top of the engine nacelle is the result of own research. Everything was made from wire, cable insulation (exhaust pipes) and MG muzzles joined together (pitot tubes). The floats under the wings are braced with super-fine steel wire, which, by the way, is a very versatile material. The instructions also make no reference to the tailplane struts, which were also made by the builder.
However, most of the work has gone into the undercarriage! This was, to summarise, so heavily modified that it can actually be described as newly constructed from etched parts and wire from the leftover box.
So, I've already written a lot, but there's one more point: I'm particularly curious to see how my first self-built Vacu canopy performs on this project. I'm a bit anxious, but also very excited to see what the unmasking that will soon follow will show!

I agree with all comments above. I must say, I like way you attached the wires and struts - usually there is a bit of a lump of superglue where they attach to the fuselage, but you managed to make the connection points very neat.

Thanks mates for all the motivating responses! Thomas, I try to solve the problem of gluing in wires by always drilling holes at both ends, into which I then 'clamp' the wire that has been cut off a little too long. Before gluing, I let some glue into the opening via a wire tip and then insert the wire within the time that the glue remains liquid. This usually works more or less well, I'm glad you like it.

From ugly duckling to..... well, the Fairchild F.91 is now finished! I am pleased to be able to present it to you - also because it was not an easy build in some parts. One of the new features is the use of a deep-drawn cockpit canopy for the first time, as you can see in this build report. Incidentally, the windows on the fuselage are not from the kit, but clear film cut as accurately as possible - at least it looks better.

Thank you for your comments, which make me happy and motivate me! Mr D, I've actually had a small thermoforming machine for a few weeks now, which after a bit of testing has been used here for the first time in 'live action'. It's interesting to note that there seems to be some interesting equipment and techniques for modellers in the dental field.
