Made me look immediately for Jasmodel kits.

Олег О
Это что-то необыкновенное! Потрясающе!

Robert Podkoński
Makes me wonder, what happens next... You've managed this skeleton kit absolutely perfectly. Chapeau bas!

Michael Kohl
How - if all all - did you prep the metal?

tyu
Nice, VERY nice! How did you attach the metal parts: glueing or soldering? Very clean build, impressive1

CaptGPF
Here's a dumb question - how do you keep the paint from chipping off of the PE? I tried spraying Mr Surfacer on it, prior to painting, but it still chips very easily.

Lorraine Lin
Thank you everyone!
@Michael Kohl, this kits are from Jasmine Model. The PEs are great, while the instructions a little bit difficult to understand.
@tyu, I used instant adhesive to glue them together. Some small parts, I used UV glue.
@CaptGPF, I used Mr. Color C series to paint it directly after assembly, keep the paint as thin as possible. But yes, it still chips easily, try not to touch it : )

Great project!
As I build some Stripdown aircraft already I thought about this one too, but the kit is hard to get here and pricey so it was only an idea.

@CaptGPF You can apply Mr.MetalPrimer from Gunze first. It is a acrylic clear coat which hardens to a thin robust layer even if applied with a brush. I prefer the glass bottle over the rattle can.

Lorraine what are you using for a skin on the fuselage?

Michael Kohl
I have used Mr Metal Primer for a while too with satisfying results. Paint adheres much better.

Ben M
Nice weathering!

Neuling
Looks very good! More pictures and infos would be welcome!

Denis Dogadov
There are really very few photos.
I liked the coloring, but there are questions about the technical part.
The ski holes on the lower surface of the engine hood were not supposed to be blind - they did not have a front wall, and these holes served to release cooling air.
There were transparent windows in the domes of the chassis niches.There were also landing flaps from below, which need to be more clearly highlighted

great job. i would suggest to create a project and link this beauty to it, so it gets the right visibility.
@Denis, those seem to be flaws in the model itself, right?

Denis Dogadov
Yes, I agree, you can always refer to the shortcomings of the model itself, but the end result is always on the modeler's conscience.
There are a lot more flaws in the model, but I did not bring them all, because in general I liked the work.
I only wanted someone else to see it and use it in their work.

Spanjaard
please let me know the details, i have an (Eduard) I-16 i intend to build, an I am certainly interested in any flaws it may have. I am sure I will add some of my own, but it is good to know the ones the kit itself has 😉

Denis Dogadov
Here is a well-made model (Eduard)-
