Beech AT-11 Kansan - Racing
The picture that took my attention. Love at first glance.
Nice content of this kit from 1990.
September Pops Racing Beech differs slightly from the AT-11 version of this kit. Mainly windows and interior of the cockpit are concerned.
After rework.
Usally 1/72 efforts for cockpit details get lost when putting windows and canopy in place but this seems way to much of "things there, where they shouldn't"....
Much better now,...
In fact the cockpit panels are on LH only - I will remove RH. The "bombers deck" in the front is having a more comfortable seat and neater panel liners than back in the days.
Dryfit.
Thought some riveting exercise would be helpful.
Wings riveting done,...
This kit doesn't provide exhaust pipes - checked the spare box for usefull things,...
...and creating them by myself.
Some modification on the engine cover/pylon is needed.
After another milling session the exhaust pipe....
...is put in place and - fits. 🙂
Interior almost done.
The clear parts to not show a good fit....
...some filling of gabs needed here.
When clear parts and filling were done I recognized that on the pictures of September Pop Kansan they do have a "bubble" on top and behind the cockpit compartment....
....so I had to make a hole in the closed fuselage which I usally try to avoid in this stge of a build due to debris. FOD is also in modelling a thing you don't like 😉
Another thing I almost missed....landing light.
Ok - here we...sit. 🙂
Wainting for primer application.
