The picture that took my attention. Love at first glance.

Nice content of this kit from 1990.

September Pops Racing Beech differs slightly from the AT-11 version of this kit. Mainly windows and interior of the cockpit are concerned.

After rework.

Usally 1/72 efforts for cockpit details get lost when putting windows and canopy in place but this seems way to much of "things there, where they shouldn't"....

Much better now,...

In fact the cockpit panels are on LH only - I will remove RH. The "bombers deck" in the front is having a more comfortable seat and neater panel liners than back in the days.

Dryfit.

Thought some riveting exercise would be helpful.

Wings riveting done,...

This kit doesn't provide exhaust pipes - checked the spare box for usefull things,...
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/5/3/2/1637532-10307-94-720.jpg)
...and creating them by myself.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/5/3/3/1637533-10307-80-720.jpg)
Some modification on the engine cover/pylon is needed.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/5/3/6/1637536-10307-19-720.jpg)
After another milling session the exhaust pipe....
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/5/3/5/1637535-10307-44-720.jpg)
...is put in place and - fits. 🙂
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/8/6/2/1660862-10307-37-720.jpg)
Interior almost done.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/8/6/3/1660863-10307-41-720.jpg)
The clear parts to not show a good fit....
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/8/6/4/1660864-10307-15-720.jpg)
...some filling of gabs needed here.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/8/6/5/1660865-10307-52-720.jpg)
When clear parts and filling were done I recognized that on the pictures of September Pop Kansan they do have a "bubble" on top and behind the cockpit compartment....
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/8/6/6/1660866-10307-68-720.jpg)
....so I had to make a hole in the closed fuselage which I usally try to avoid in this stge of a build due to debris. FOD is also in modelling a thing you don't like 😉
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/1/6/9/1671169-10307-65-720.jpg)
Another thing I almost missed....landing light.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/1/7/0/1671170-10307-36-720.jpg)
Ok - here we...sit. 🙂

Have the "September Pops" decals in hand now - time to bring this one back to the bench soon.
