The Construction
And the propeller. I'm entirely satisfied with it.
I am not 100% satisfied with resin gun barells, however I didn't manage to make metal replacements...
Cowling side. Assembly with the engine is absolutely terrible.
The engine is missing the second row of cylinders, however it won't be much visible.
The underside with lines washed. Still minor tweaking to do.
It all depends on lightning - in daylight roundels are indeed, greyish.
Panel lines washed. It all more or less starts to resemble an aircraft...
The cowling with a bolt applied. I did the latches and shell ejectors from spare PE as I didn'tfeel like scribing such small rectangles again... And wheel covers.
Decals are good as usual, but the colour choice for the roundel is controversial... I think it should be darker. Despite what you can see it's NOT white actually.
I added the overpainted band near the tail. Surprisingly - it went smoothly the first time I tried 🙂
Myrsky ready for taking decals.
The underside is basically RLM65 and again I think that VJ rendition is a little too blue. Though I quite like it 😉
Pattern borders need of course touching up.
I managed to apply lower swastikas before taking the pictures.
The standard three tone Finnish camo applied. Thugh as per FS suggestions I find the Model Air colour quite juicy.
Main body glued, filled & sanded.
Underside also was filled a bit here and there.
Typically - wing roots required some attention.
Left instrument panel moe visible.
A look inside - no seat, instrument panel & some small bits.
It's not ben retouched yet.
It's quite tight there and not much will be visible even with an opened canopy.
And the starboard of the plane. Seat wil be attached later.
Port side of the cockpit.
This is the actual kit's interior - cleaner and nicer than the previous one.
Port side again - also with better colours.
And the seat.
After returning to this one, firstly I applied the colours that you can see earlier, only to strip it all down and use way better, dedicated Lifecolor set.
Underside washed.
After 3 evening with the horror of fitting the engine and the cowling to the fuselage - only minor things to wrap it up!

Wojciech KuczaThanks a lot for the feedback 🙂 Still some work left to be done, but it's going steadily towards the finish 🙂 (Though I HATE the engine + cowling + MG's assembly is badly thought out... Aligning it all is a nightmare.)
