Taking a seat, of course!
(Perhaps the transparencies and propellers from this kit would work:
Soviet Tu-2 Bomber (HobbyBoss 80298, 1:72))

Thomas Kolb
Thank you Robert! The three-bladed standard propellers in the kit are actually fine, it is the transparencies I am a bit worried about.

Łukasz Gliński
Me 2, must watch this - wondering how good/bad this kit is

Dave Flitton
Watching!!

Me 3, this will be another great build to follow.

I still don't understand why they haven't released a more updated tool for this model yet.

Moreno Baruffini
Thomas, you are a specialist in reminding me the models I started and non finished (yet)! Super inspiring, and a great build to follow for sure!

Thomas Kolb
Dear friends, thank you for your interest. I am a bit curious myself how this model will turn out - I have read some pretty nasty things about it in reviews, but I am not sure it's so bad. It certainly looks very intricately designed, not your usual shake 'n' bake kit for sure.

Gergő Takács
Thomas, you are doing always the same project what I want to do in the future with the same kits. 😀 I'm always taking a seat and save your work for motivation.

Wow Robert, you were very fast while I'm uploading and adding a description to the pics! Welcome!

That is not really a WIP album yet, but I made an experiment on a left over Pfalz wing to reach to look of the colored profile painted again by Ronny Bar:
Primed gray, added Semi Matt Aluminium, masked and painted two crosses.
The dark red at the front will be a different story ...
Then I tried different highly thinned blue paints. H322 was not bad, but do not cover the black cross, or only with very much paint. But I'm happy after adding a drop of light gray to the paint mix.

Finn
Really, really cool!

Neuling
Clean, careful, beautiful!

Felix
Very nice!

Ekki
Excellent result!

Finn
Nice one!

Mr D
Thanks, Appreciate the interest, lm reality new to the hobby about 14 months, finding my way with techniques.
Weathering n panel lines need more learning.
The IAR-80 was decent price from HB and liked the paint scheme...bit different
👍👍

J35J
I'm in!

Mr D
Thanks J35.
Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
They said to paint interior charcoal black like on the FW-190.
But l checked n the Romanian lAR interior was grey/blue.
Engine building next 6 parts deal.
Cheers 😃👍

Surfacer looks great, I like your riveting work 👍

Sebastijan Videc
Thank you guys, if all the planets align, she'll be in her colours by the end of the week, just before I head out for holidays.

Maciej Bellos
I got Gabreski's mount so I got to watch this one. Excellent work Sebastijan! Just a question, how come the cockpit interior is painted in AOTAKI green (japanese interior colour)?

Piotr Sarniński-Górecki
So nice build ! Watching !

Frank Brzobohaty
Nice modeling stand where did you get it from? and great job on the P-47!!

Skyhiker
Ohhh so pretty.

Sebastijan Videc
Thank you everyone!
@Maciej it's not AOTAKE but Interior Bronze Green. By doing the research I noticed they were painted in various green shades, IBB being one of the common ones. PM me for photos if interested,

@Frank jig is from Vertigo Miniatures from Slovakia.

Frank Brzobohaty
Thanks for the info, love the realistic invasion stripes (you may want to soften the sharp white edge at the wing root side, just a suggestion). I will have to be brave and do it that way on my next model that has them.

Sebastijan Videc
Thank you, Frank. Yeah, they're not done yet so the outer edges will come as well... as will the slight overpaint of the roundels

Miguel Vaquero
Starting stronger since the A350 catastrophe. Cockpit sub assembled with the Eduard Detail set, painted and weathered. Couldnt take more pictures of the progress due to the details being so small 🥴🥴

Michael Kohl
Nice cockpit

Thomas Kolb
My goodness, that cockpit looks stunning! Are you sure it's not 48 scale?

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Michael!

I could have hoped Thomas😅😅. It would have made my life way easier. Though the PE details helped a lot

CaptGPF
Agree with everyone - the cockpit looks great! Chipping at this scale is impressive

Nicolas
Nice progress so far.

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks guys, waiting to get free from work this week to star painting the fuselage and engine. Let's see how that turns out

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Miguel Vaquero
Engine almost done, except for the PE parts. I'm amazed of how it's all turning out tbh, didn't expect this great finish on such small parts

Mr D
Looking good 👍 the instrument's look good, did you get the clocks to sink in with softener ??
I have this one to build next after my lAR-80.
Thanks for uploading 😁👍

Miguel Vaquero
Hey MrD thanks! Well Im sorry I can't help you with that because I used the photo etched and plastic instrumentation provided by the kit from Eduard. Sure someone with more experience with Tamiya decals can help you with that in here.

Looking forward to see how yours turns out!

Mr D
Thanks 👍👍
May look into the PE kit.
Belts come out nice, do you glue PE direct to plastic or do you have to prep first ?
Coming on nicely 👌

Miguel Vaquero
I use cyanoacrylate for the PE parts, just a little amount sticks okay, although at this scale there's some parts that are way to hard to make them stick and my not so skilled application of the glue leaves a lot of residue on the model. I try to clean up the best I can but it's quite challenging sometimes

If you want to build a good looking cockpit with the extra detail I recommend you the PE for sure. But if your main goal is the exterior and not to focus so much on the interior the PE kit doesn't include a lot of things for the exterior, and the tamiya kit I think gives a really nice looking base cockpit

WAHO LEU
High-level works will be produced, look forward to and admire them.
