These pictures are the start of a model project that I had long shied away from with respect: the kit parts promised a lot of fun and a highly interesting aircraft as a result, but also a lot of 'toil and trouble'. On the other hand: the adventure simply beckons.... 🙂
Here you can see the parts in almost raw condition, I only started to detail a little with round and flat wire. The tricky question was how to treat the sensitive and already somewhat battered transparent part of the unusual cockpit glazing. I decided to cut off the two side parts, mask the inside and outside of the windows and only attach the central clear part at the very end. I like the pictures with the over-designed radial engine: what a power-to-weight ratio for these racing machines!
The last two pictures show the current state of construction and detailing.... Well, we'll see...

I wonder if they ever make a version with Polish or Ukrainian decals. And BTW. I think you are following me on mElon Musk site 😄

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.

Łukasz, you are doing a very good job with the Airfix kit. At this rate it will have a better result than the AVI one 😉

This project is shaping up nicely! You are getting more and more brave with unorthodox techniques, I see! Like melting and shaping plastic with solvent, cool!

Yeah, I'm playing around with various ideas as these won't be any competition builds anyway.
Added the decals, which in case of Airfix was very frustrating, many of the originals have disintegrated, most notably the big black 'DJ' letters.
So, all the 'DJ' Ids are done using parts of surplus decals, courtesy of my stash.
Trying to add convincing wash on the wings and tails currently.
PS. I have to admit the AVI kit is really nice thing to build, except for 2 weak points: poorly fitting front cowling and the ridiculous undercarriage legs.

Forgot to photograph the cockpit before adding the canopy - hope you forgive me that 😛

Coming along nicely 👍
Did you use masking fluid on the canopy??
Thanks for uploading... interesting build 😃👍

Yes Mr D, I went for the fluid as I found I haven't stocked my stash with the masks for this particular kit. Hope they will work well enough.

Well done so far, Łukasz!
That screw in photo 2 looks like a worm that is in the process of metamorphosis inside a sabre dog 😛
