Yes Mr D, I went for the fluid as I found I haven't stocked my stash with the masks for this particular kit. Hope they will work well enough.

That screw in photo 2 looks like a worm that is in the process of metamorphosis inside a sabre dog 😛

Was this color combination a standard for civil vehicles? I am asking because a week ago I saw one in southern Germany with exactly this livery.

Mr D, The new models of the Zvezda company, it seems to me, are well developed. All the details fit together. The detail is at a good level.

Mr D, You have an interesting idea. If you are worried about the quality of the model, I recommend that you first study the reviews on it.
But I usually focus on the assembly instructions 👌

The canopy on this kit was awful. It didn't fit and was cracked when I opened the box. But since I didn't have any other ideas I used it anyway.

I used a 0.2 needle to do the mottling. I think if I had a 0.15 I could have had more control. A new airbrush is on my wishlist.

Yeah Revell's canopy for this kit just sucks. Also since this is an older model I imagine I could do a better job now.

And me naive thought there will be no rigging 🙁
Canopy is as it is, but I would be very happy having such a mottling on my Schwalbe, let's see.

Good luck Trez. The canopy on this kit is also a pain. Best to sand it into shape before you get to far into the build. Or vacuform a new one.

I just layered the paint with my Iwata airbrush with a .02 needle, making sure to take the cap off the front for a cleaner spray. Sadly that airbrush broke this month.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been dry-fitting the floor and the rear body (main parts already built) and they seem to fit well enough to the chassis, but I won't know for sure until I get the cab built, of course.

I have seen somebody build a Dragon M3 halftrack, and he had some trouble lining up the cab and the back half, so I think it will pay to keep a close eye on fit straight from the start.

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

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.

I must say, I am pretty impressed with this kit so far. At first sight it looked like an Amodel kit, but everything is very cleverly designed and all parts fits together beautifully without any problems. The only gripe I have is with the plastic itself - it's very soft and stretchy and definitely does not like to be sanded.

At first sight it looked like an Amodel kit, but everything is very cleverly designed and the parts almost fall together by themselves without any problems. The only gripe I have is with the plastic itself - it's very soft and kind of stretchy, and all sanding needs to be followed by polishing to result in a smooth surface.

Looking good 👍, the canopy is fine, be ok when all printed up, fits fuselage well, the canopy on the Revell FW-190 l did was horrendous!! Would be good for bathroom privacy glass 🤣.
What glue do you use to fix canopy??

Mr D, Thank you! I used regular Revell styrene cement (the blue one with the needle tip). Just added a string of solvent around the fuselage edges and then placed the canopy on. I normallt use water-based cement for transparencies to avoid fogging, but if you are careful, it's not a problem to use solvent based cement.

Using the precut masks would be so much easier if they actually fit the model... But the flight deck glasshouse parts seem to be designed for a different kit, so I am back to using Tamiya masking tape.

Always the tedious part !! But looking like nice mask job.
I usually put a masking fluid over joined parts if l can, lve had paint blow under before.. as it doesn't stick to it's self that good.
On the Beriev I'm doing now, l masked most individual windows out, but the big curved window at front was bit fragile!! So I'm going to use my mega fine Nail liner brush to carefully paint frame in.
Like the underside colour, good luck on next steps 😃👍👍

You be fine a quick visual check before paint you be fine.
I wet the tooth pick a little, it prevents scratching n seems to come away quicker.

Mr D, thank you for the tip! I am not very experienced with these large multi-pane windows, as I usually build more modern aircraft models. I sincerely hope the paint won't blow in under the masks, but I guess I can always repair minor errors with a wooden cocktail stick to remove accidental paint streaks on the glass or a brush to paint any missing or incorrect frames.
