December 13, 2023The fit is really good, not much putty, not much sandin needed.12
December 15, 2023Weight in the Nose, in total 25 Gramm. I‘ve a lot of this nuts.13
December 17, 2023The clear parts are not extraordinary. The upper part on the Cockpit has a little turbidity. I think I can adjust this with klear. They are not really bad, but I saw better ones.14
December 25, 2023First Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500, black, mixed mit Mr. Leveling thinner 110. Makes a very good Impression.15
December 25, 2023Two layers AK interactive Aluminum. Let’s see, what happens when I polish it.16
January 6, 2024After a few layers AK extreme Metal Aluminum, gloss coat, polishing it, now the panels with darker aluminum. It‘s a mix between dark aluminum and normal aluminum

January 11, 2024Eduard decals are awesome! Wait 24 Hours after mounting the decals. Then you can, very, very carefuly, the covering film take away. First with a small piece of masking tape loose it a little bit, with a tweezer you can take it away. It‘s a fumbling job, but you‘ll love it. But be careful, the decals may not be older than from June 2021.18
January 11, 2024What stays on the plane is only the color of the decal. No carrier foil, just a perfect fit. Awesome!19
January 23, 2024Invasion stripes now on upper side of the wings. Next step is to put them on the lower side.20
February 7, 2024Now the invasion stripes are complete plus the decals. It was a fiddle work. The compressors are quite looking good, despite I wanted something different…21
February 12, 2024I put 22 Gramm weight into the nose to avoid a tailsitter. Worked fine!22
