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? Are you using CA or regular styrene solvent? I find that transparent plastic doesn't create a strong bond using regular styrene cement.

Great Humber, I have one in the stash too, when I get around to making it one day I hope it turns out half as good as yours!

From ugly duckling to swan: Fairchild F.91Nou: 10 August, 17:27 1:72

In view of the start of this build, I was tempted by the following motto: "From ugly duckling to swan": the kit offers a number of interesting challenges, but gives an idea of the potential both as a model and as a representation of a true aircraft beauty! I will try my best to make the swan appear....
A first challenge: roughly moulded parts, poor fit and a wing that wants too much in a positive V-position.... A second challenge will follow in the form of a Vacu canopy that has turned yellow with age; this will give me the opportunity to try out the doing in Vac-canopy myself. More of that next time...

Great, Roland!
I would like to see the steps you follow when making the Vac-canopy.

Thank you for your interest, I appreciate it!
Cuajete, I'd be happy to show you a few photos of the progress of the construction and application of the self-moulded Vac canopy. It seems to have produced a reasonable result so far....

Many thanks, Roland!
Great job with the putty party and vacuum canopy 👍
What thermoformer did you use?

This look like an intriguing project, but she's definitely a putty queen! I am super impressed with the vac-forming!
