2nd Kit
New day new kit
Cockpit assembled, cut the fuselage for the mod to work. Fingers crossed how it will turnout after puttying and sanding…
Some puttying and masking windows
Applying paint from the can on few pieces, base was Vallejo white primer.
Ammo putty mask thin and medium is helping a lot after sanding few hours
sanding a bit, then masking tape over for the putty.
The resin I thought did not take the priming well on the surface…

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

Michael KohlLike 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.

Stephan FässlerThanks 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 🙂

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

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