Changed my camera, it's still being tested.
The "right" ones will follow later...

Good stuff 👌

Wow! Thank you mates for all your interest!
@gorby: oh yes, They really make the difference. The age of the kit is noticeable, so the PE is a nice plus.
@Łukasz Gliński: There will be no camo pattern. The vehicle is small and such an elaborate multi-color camouflage would make all details visually disappear. In the end, it would only look colorful and misshapen, i guess.
@Robert Podkoński: thank you for the pics! A good source, also for later projects 😉 However, the exhibited specimen would have to be a replica, because according to my research, no original vehicle has survived over the time.
Thanks for all your comments and likes!! 🎉

Of course, it is a replica, Simon. In fact I was thinking especially about you when uploading these photos. You've done awesome job on this kit - I know the 'quality' of the kit itself 😉 Congrats!

Holy cow! Everything on this build is phenomenal! The insane OE work and the final painting and detailing at this micro scale is insane!
21 August, 20:44
![](/profiles/img/33587-335-s.png)
That is some top-grade PE and detailing work 👍 I guess one can get something out of those RPM lts after replacing like 75% of the details 😉

Very good looking tiny armored car, Simon. 👍 I am curious what nice base you will give it to stand on.

Worked lately on the Airfix set - the side windows are made of transparent parts of some packaging and UV resin

I only and sincerely hope that you quadruple checked your references that the original plane didn't have an "Airfix" molded on the cockpit side walls - lest you have to scratch new ones. 😉
30 June, 15:00
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
I'm in. Got the Airfix kit and the Pavla detail set in my stash, but I'm thinking about replacing it with the AVI kit. I think your report will be a big help there.
30 June, 17:42
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Great! The Bird Dog Society has begun. I have felt a great disturbance in the Force, but I remembered that Łukasz is a great tamer of hard plastics 😉
It looks like those photo-etches are doing a good job 👌
30 June, 18:19
![](/profiles/img/44957-709-s.jpg)
So... if the AVI kit is destined for the representation of Major Buang-Ly's plane... I'm also eager to see what the Airfix kit will be...
30 June, 18:34
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
You're absolutely right Alex - AVI's going to be Major's BirdDog and Airfix is destined to be boxart DJ-coded one.
I was thinking of Maltese markings for it, but there are none available.
Cuajete, the PE are quite good, but the Airwaves set has quite unclear hand-drawn instructions, which is challenging sometimes.
Nicolas, wish I could fetch the Pavla tail set, I need to try restoring the raised lines after having to remove the injection marks.
30 June, 19:22
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
I'd wish there would be a conversion kit to a Siai SM 1019. But I think I have to scratchbuild the different cowling, propeller and tailsection.
1 July, 04:46
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Thanks and good to see you. I progressed a bit with AVI set as Airfix requires some corrections, namely tail and windows

Wow, that cockpit looks beautiful! Are the wings joined to the transparent canopy only? Are you using CA or regular styrene solvent? I find that transparent plastic doesn't create a strong bond using regular styrene cement, but maybe you are more skilled than me.
10 August, 19:10
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Shhh, Thomas, so far it does stay together 😉
Actually the greenhouse is build using CA in some places and Mr Cement SP in others.
I think it depends on the material used by the manufacturer, for example Zvezda lately is known for using polyethylene afaik.

The engine is done. At the end it will be covered by the side cowl and will be visible by 15% 🙂
24 August, 12:44
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Brilliant, a good start 👌.
Tamiya know there bike's 👍👍 l did the NRS-500 it had a see through fairing, So l did an oval area unpainted to see engine.
Like it 😁
24 August, 16:27
![](/profiles/img/130760-864-s.jpg)
Finally finished the exhaust. For this kit it was a bit tricky, because of Tamiya provides a bit different way of assembling it (in my opinion is not very successful).
4 September, 07:46
![](/profiles/img/130760-864-s.jpg)
The project is nearing completion, but I'm really tired of it. The sets from the '90s are cool, but they have their own peculiarities.
5 September, 16:12
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Coming along nicely now good exhaust heat effect 👌
What paint system do you use.
Nice bike good project 👍👍

Hi everyone, i have some kits to sell, how do i go about this? Thanks in advance
4 September, 08:57
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
I've not sold anything on here so I could be wrong….
Got to your stash.
The item you want to sell, click the '+' to the right of that entry.
Click 'move'. Don't worry that it's connected to the bin symbol, it won't delete it.
That will show a number of options in green boxes of which the last one is 'For sale'.
I don't want to go any further than that as I don't want to sell anything. If you need help from that step someone else will have to step in.
Hope that helps.
5 September, 09:46
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
After that you press 'return' and then again on the '+'. Now it will show you some options like i. e. the 'price'-button. By clicking you can set a price, change the currency you wanna trade with and so on.
My two cents on selling on Scalemates: I prefer ebay. Here I encountered much less interest in what I had to offer. On ebay most of the things sold on first presentation.

I think the new notification system will help here - you will get a Notify if someone sell a item on your wishlist. I like it!

I bought this kit in the late 1980s after the EAP had first flown but before the Eurofighter was a reality.

One of my first attempts at a limited-run cottage industry kit, and I am thankful I left it more than 40 years before tackling it. I now have far more patience for what is a tricky kit for a casual modeller such as me!

I'm also curious about Dübendorf, now the Alptransit tunnel is closed, but It should be a nice trip from southern Alps
23 August 2023, 18:16
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Well, I visited Dübendorf only once, more than a decade ago. Not that the Switzerland changes very quickly, but it was a while ago 😉
Not the biggest one I've been to (don't expect the size of Duxford), but very interesting. As it's in CH, there are many unique airplanes on display, so highly recommended.
The C36 was unfortunately parked the way you couldn't see the interior v.well, so there's a lot of guesswork involved in this build. Kora's kit has the same interior setup for all C36 versions which is not true for sure.

Well, it's time for me to take a seat here too, especially because i have this kit in my stash and live 10 minutes from Duebendorf 😉

...At the end of the day, I've also bought this kit! Great progress 👍

Thanks a lot, it's sort of on hold currently, as I prefer sanding the resin kits outdoors 🙂
6 January, 21:25
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
I agree with you, Łukasz 👍
Despite this, it is advisable to use a mask or you can even sand inside a bag if you do not do it outdoors. Resin dust is toxic and can be carcinogenic.
7 January, 20:37
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Consider wet sanding. It ameliorates the dust problem considerably. Not using a dust mask when dry sanding resin isn't the most brilliant idea - being it in- or outside.
7 January, 20:52
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Just to be clear, inside or putside - mask is always there, I just skip cleaning the residue from the modelling room 👍
7 January, 21:33
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
CA glue and some fancy sand from Revell Fix kit. Still, lots of sanding ahead
8 April, 12:00
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Welcome Thomas, great to see you here. I advanced a bit lately and managed to force the canopy into submission (just in case you wondered - there are 2 pieces in the kit)

I've had the same issue with vacu canopies. Each one has gotten a little better for me.
