Nice work so far. I will follow 😊

John
Thanks Andreas, welcome to the show (hopefully more a comedy than a horror show).

Great work on progress, taking a chair 👍🏻

Looking good, following. 👍

Beautiful "low effort"😂

John
Thanks Doubtingmango. 👍 I guess "low effort" is relative, lol. I really am trying to not have things on the "shelf of doom" and complete a kit before I start another, but the point at which I say "good enuf" and move on is a moving target some days...

Doubtingmango
I get it John. I still remember the first time I forced myself to use EVERY piece of photo etch from an Eduard detail kit. I now look at the detail kits as "suggested" modifications…

Ekki
Very good work!

Guy Rump
Great result, congrats! 👍

Bernd Grün
Very nice result! 👌 How was the build?

Geert
What if. Always cool!

Geert if I'm right, this plane is from the "Hot shot" movie.

front skirts appear to be warped or mis-cast

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.

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.

John
Looking good! 👍 Have fun with the main glass and fiddly rotor bits (I didn't 😄)

Qwertzel
Thanks, I will try my best

Looking good indeed! How did (or will) you paint the inside of the air intakes?

John is right with his comment, the cabine ceiling is a problem. I decided to keep the pilot door frames on the inside out for the moment. Without them the fitting seems to be quite good.

Qwertzel
Thanks Andre! I already painted the air intakes with my airbrush. Now I will mask everything off so the paint is save for the yellow.

This looks fun
