Cool! I was wondering how all the extra parts in mine looked when done, very nice. 👍

If you will accept a bit of advice, when you complete the cabin "shell" that goes into the fuselage halves, be prepared to do a lot of trimming and fitting before closing up. On mine, the sides of the fuselage wanted to push the roof of the cabin down and also hit the edges of the windscreen opening and that left a big gap on top. I finally got it acceptable fit, but even then, I wish I had cut more away because the cabin roof does not quite fit flush.

Qwertzel
Thanks for the advice. I'll take care of it 🙂
I build a lot of Revell kits in the past and the fitting was different with every model. I have got everything between pretty good and horrible. It's always like a mysterious box.

John
I'm sure you will do well with all that Revell experience. 👍 The good news is that other than the cabin shell, the rest fits OK (ish) even the windscreens. But if you want doors closed, also be prepared to do some surgery on them.

Guy Rump
The next project will be this old tool Italeri Horsa glider. My first glider, so here's hoping it will be a good experience. 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here!

Nicolas
I'm going to build this one too. Im watching with great interest.

J35J
I'm in!🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start today. First thing to do was decide if a MK.1 or Mk.2 was to be built. I've decided on the Mk.1 so I had to cut out the parts as shown in the photo. 🙂

Welcome along Robert, Nicolas & J35J, nice to have you with me. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Robert P, Neil, Chris & J35J. 👍

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Pietro DA. 👍

Neil Patrick
I built this about 20 years ago Guy as a gift for a WW2 Horsa pilot who was a friend of my wife's family. He'd flown Horsas into Normandy and Arnhem. He loved the model and it sat in his living room for the rest of his days. It's a nice kit as I recall.

Guy Rump
Invasion stripes are now on the wings. Next is to start painting the invasion stripes on the fuselage. 🙂

@ Neil, it is quite a nice kit considering its age. The fact that you gifted a Horsa model to an actual Horsa pilot veteran is something that must have been hugely gratifying. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Villiers DV, Sebastien C, Neil P & 2 other mates. 👍

Guy Rump
Fuselage painted Dark Earth, BS Dark Green and black including invasion stripes. Gap is for where the wings are added. 🙂

Martin Oostrom
I agree

Bozzer
Your masking has definitely improved, mate. Nice job!

nikfrost
Thanks Bozzer! I think I'm getting the hang of this gloss finish also...hopefully.

Mr D
Nice 👍 very nice, the cast texture on the engine looks good, it's the prv V6 is it ?
I had an RC version as a kid .
Will look fantastic when the decals go on.
👌

nikfrost
The cast texture is Tamiya flat aluminium XF-16 very poorly sprayed by me haha, I think it was drying on its way from the airbrush to the surface and kind of built up.

Mr D
Worked well to the effect 👍 Tamiya dries really fast , l use Velejo mostly, l found Tamiya to fast n thickens up in the pot, Velejo doesn't harden like Tamiya n definitely needs good clear coat.
Nice project 👍

Guy Rump
The next aircraft for my WW2 collection will be a bit bigger than the other ones I have built so far this year. 🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start on the B-25 C with the cockpit area. Mainly used Vallejo Model Air US Light Green 🙂

Not much progress here, the front undercarriage was added and then further weights were added where I could in order to stop it being a tail sitter. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Andrew B, Dave F, Bernd G & 1 other mate. 👍

Nice work, can't wait to see it finished

Villiers de Vos
Interesting subject.

Mr D
Looking good, nice strong bold colours 👍👍 coming along well.

jan zumack
Thanks Mr D

Mr D
Do you mind if l ask what white paint you use??
I use Velejo for most my builds been good....but the white is poor in pigment!! I got recommend AK White.....and it is loads better but bit thick.
Like what you achieved so far 👌👍

jan zumack
Good question, i use Tamiya colors for the most projects. The White color ist named X2. I thinn it with Isopropanol.
Hope i could help you.

Mr D
Yes, good help as l didn't know the Tamiya paint could be thinned with isopropanol. I have few pots that have thickened up bit to much.
So will get some in.
Thanks 👍👍

jan zumack
You could Not all colors thin with Isopropanol, but the most. All glittering colors have to dry more than 24hours and use some gloves. If you didnt do it, you got fingerprints on your kit. I learn that the hard way. 😅

Dave
Looks great, nice job.

Mr D
Great 😃👍 pulled it of good well done 😀
