Fabulous kit. After checking references and a visit to the Flygvapenmusem in our summer vacation I decided to stick to my trusty AK Real Colours.

I got the ol' Heller kit. Following with interest. Did you have to mix the colors or could you use them straight from the jar?

Thanks mates! I used the colours straight out of the jar, with lighter US od freckles over the lighter UK od.

I have three of those kits in the stash waiting for a triple build, so I will follow with great interest. You nailed the colors pretty much perfect. It's quite an elusive greenish brown that looks different on each photo, and not easy to mix yourself. BTW, did you have problems getting the nose weights in place?

Well, it's not too roomy. I used material for tyre balancing in nose and behind the cockpit bulkhead, appr. 15g.

You're welcome. I must apologyze for my phone, it's not so good in low level light conditions. Will sort the pictures out later.

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. 😉

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.

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 👌

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice interesting kit, like it. Not heard of the brand.
I've just started a Beriev be-6

Yeah, it was the only version I could get my hands on at the time. And sometimes I like the challenge of the older kits

Great progress! The metallic finish looks especially good. Did you have to re-mask and re-paint? (Image #54)
