Łukasz, yep, needed to have a side-project too. But you built one of these some time ago, didn't you?

I did indeed, but using a different kit:

Watching with pleasure, of course. RSmodels kits definitely are not shake-and-bake ones...

On the basis of my previous experience with RSmodels kits I can answer your question under the photo #18 Thomas - No, they do not...

Robert, thanks! Yes, it was quite surprising, because the model is in other areas really nicely designed and certainly catches the appearance of the real thing.

Rising to the challenge with skill and tenacity 👍 The progress is looking superb, so well worth the effort 👍

Gentlemen, thank you for your encouragement! Yesterday evening I had a few minutes to spend, and so I added stabilizers, air scoops and some smaller stuff. Landing gears, canopy and propeller assembly are now the only parts left before the painting phase. I think I have the colors pinned down, but I will need do some more experimenting.

I decided to skip the vac-formed Rob Taurus canopy I bought, it simply does not look good or scale correct with the sliding parts on top of each other. So I will just use the standard closed kit canopy, it's good enough.

Very good decision with that canopy, Thomas, if I may comment...

Main paintwork done. The kit canopy actually turned out really good! The next step is a ton of detail paintjob with a brush.

That's looking really good. Seems to be a pretty tough kit but you are getting the best out of it

A glossy coat applied and the model is ready for the finishing touches: decals and some weathering. I am curious and a bit worried about how the kit decals will work, they really look awfully thin. We'll see soon enough!

The finish line on a horizon (myself I would rather give Polish insignias here...but it is your model, Thomas, of course 😉 )

Some weathering added and I hereby consider this project finished. Thank you all for your encouraging words! Unfortunately I have no proper camera with macro, so the iPhone photos will have to do.

Weren't it the (in)famous hangar we'd all think you went to Szolnok 👍

Oops, I just realized that I had forgotten to add the pitot tube to the left wing before taking the photos. Nevermind, it is there now!

Here here, WhiteGlint, and the lights inside the hanger add greatly to the realism 👍 She turned out very nice indeed 👍🙂

These twilight pics are outstanding, lucky you having such a nice background outside! 👍

Album info
This is a very tiny model of a lovely trainer aircraft that I had the pleasure to see and photograph myself at the Aviation Museum at Szolnok Hungary.
The NATO name of this aircraft is "'Moose", but in the Hungarian Air Force it was kalled "Ölyv", meaning Buzzard.
Being a short run model, it is not a super easy build, but thanks to its diminutive size, it should be manageable as a side project!
