Sehr gute Zusammenfassung, Roland. Gibt mir Lust um mein Kit endlich zu Ende zu bauen.
Ich habe allerdings eine Frage: das "Wellblech" "wellt sich" auch innen, oder? Das fehlt mir irgendwie im Cockpit des Bausatzes...
Ich hatte da ein paar Sachen probiert, aber ohne Erfolg.

Potzblitz! Erwischt! 🙂 Thank you, Rene, I've obviously missed something important - I think you're absolutely right about the corrugated metal interior structure! Now that you've indicated that you've thought about a solution, I've also considered how to improve this..... I might try using black decal strips next time to at least give a visual hint of the structure, but I'm sure there are even more sophisticated approaches.

René "Lord Bilbo" Bartholemy
I tried to create corrugated metal from a fine sheet of metal using my "tentacle tool" and a toothpick. It worked quite well, but there just wasn't enough space in the cockpit itself to place it. It's kinda cramped in there...
Your idea might work much better.

Guy Rump
Very nice cockpit work, following. 👍

Tommy Agne
Hi Mates, ✌️. I'll call this one done. Thank you all for stepping by and follwing.

John
Very nice aggressor scheme and dio Tommy! 👍 Did you do the tarmac surface or is it a kit? Either way, it looks cool. Great figures and accessories too.

Guy Rump
Very impressive build and dio! 👍

Another post war aircraft, remember these when we lived at Leuchars low flying over the married quarters. 🙂

Welcome as always Nicolas & Ekki. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Andre K, NordMito, Lukasz G, zhsv, J35J, Villiers DV, Bernd G & 1 other mate. 👍

Rolf Rolf
Nice, what's the kit like? I've been looking at getting it

Sergej I
Watching, good start! 👍

Guy Rump
Weights added to the nose. Internal part where cockpit will go sprayed Vallejo Model Air intermediate blue. Engine intake internals painted Vallejo Model Air Insignia white. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Mr D, Sukhoi242 & Austin LAI. 👍

@Rolf Rolf, Thanks for the kind comment. The kit is quite complex with a lot of parts and, as with some of the newer Airfix kits you have to be accurate as the fit is very tight. Other than that, so far, so good! 👍

Watching with interest!

Oleg Bogolei
Haha) Good luck with it! I'm stuck with the UAV version on a putting/sanding and he's waiting for the next inspiration to come)

Kim Harris
Oleg, what's the UAV version? I only found one model of that aircraft.

Oleg Bogolei
Da-42 Dominator (SOVA-M SVM-72009, 1:72)
This one

Kim Harris
Oleg, I understand now. I think that is basically the same kit with different boxart and instructions because mine has about 30% parts not used including the long nose on the Dominator.

Oleg Bogolei
Yes, i have cocpit in my kit)

Alex K
A general aviation aircraft, a demanding kit, and a project with personal/family connection... > I'll be glad to follow your efforts - good luck!

Thomas Kolb
This is going to be great! Watching with interest!

The UAV version hasn't got any clear windows included
Was a bit tricky to build at times but fun.
Will be nice to see a GA version build. Thinking of getting that one as well.

I also have one of this in my stash...
Following!

Mr D
Like it, it's a tiny one ... good fun 😀👍👍

Gordon Sørensen
Looks like a challenging kit with lots of small pieces and lots of flash.
It looks like the 'cooling fins' are suppose to be mounted from the inside of the nacelle, not on top…

Kim Harris
Gordon. I just checked and you are absolutely correct. I will try to remove it and insert the relevant part from above. I need yo figure out a way to remove a glued on part that has been primed with minimal damage. What an idiotic thing to do.

Ben M
I find working tamiya extra thin into the joint allows it to be loosened up and pulled apart.

Kim Harris
Ben, thank you for your suggestion. I will try that! Otherwise I will be deploying a razor saw and putty 😀

Kim Harris
Ben M, I managed to loosen them with Tamiya Extra Thin and pop them off as you suggested. I will now cut them out and glue them in correctly from above. More sanding and filling
