The cockpit is very puritanical, but unfortunately there is not enough documentation on it. The fit of the parts is very poor and needs a lot of filling and sanding.

My biggest issue was fitting the seat and the mid portion of the wheel bay, had to add 1 mm plastic card on both sides. Looking forward seeing it done! 👍

komoras, I encountered the same problem: the landing gear bay cannot be fitted where it is intended. I used a milling head to remove enough of it to fit.

Those types of railings (white) seems tricky to scratch build, but I think it can be done. I guess the tricky part woudl be, making the separate pieces become perfectly aligned. Presumably, gluing all the railing parts together could be done, on top of a flat guide with recessed lines to help keep the loose part still for when the glue dries. Such a guide seems not possible for railings that have a bend to them.
Hm, here is an idea. Leave the vertical poles as is, but drill small holes horizontally. Through the horizontal holes, push/pull a small stiff metal wire. Then.. glue on horizontal railings, as two parts, with a hollowed out center (to fit the metal wire).
I wish they made more old civilians boats as kits. 🙂 Lovely to look at.
As a kid I had great fun looking at old photos, and making side view drawing of imaginary steam ships, with the various standard bits: funnel, anchor, bow, bridge, masts, rudder.

Thanks for the comment. It was a fun build because I wasn't worried about how it turned it out. It's the first ship I've built in years and just banged it together.

I think there's an album with a much superior build of this same kit here on Scalemates. That one has some scratch building. Check it out.

WARNING. Note it's easy to fit the axel stubs the wrong way round. At least it is for idiots like me..... Now to figure ...

Hi, l use UHU stranded super glue, the most important thing is to clean the surface you want to stick to with bit of Alcohol or methylated spirit.
You can buy the super glue activator to speed adhesive action.
If you want a really good one.
Zapp medium.
