hi everyone this week end was about detailing the interior. I did not get the photoetch so all scratch built with masking tape, plastic card or whjatever I had at hand.

hi guies, here are the progress I made end of december. I put fuselage toggether and started to modify it in order to adapt it to PBN-1 nooze and bottom at the same time. It is a bit complicated and I am learning slowy. work on progress still

Nose is a bit complicated I tried with milliput but I will fall out. so I decided to build a frame with expanded plastic sprue and reforce it a bit before filling it with styrene foam (not a good idea) and then putty (better idea)

Nice plastic surgery. I am anxious about the further steps. Looks like you did your homework. 🙂

Actually the change are drastic in the tail nose and botom and look like a PBN-1. going for the wings now.

I moved to Kyiv since April, while I left this kit in Mali (not enough space in my luggage). I hope to have the kit shipped early 2023 here... so for now in standby
