Avia S-199 (LS-15): WIP
Starting with the minimum parts in place. Had to attach the wing so that the lower engine cover can be glued
Clearly this wasn't made for the Trumpeter kit, so trim away some bits and use the "leftover"
Making the hole for the lower engine cover
In place + miliput
Another thing to deal with. Nice step
Making progress. The lower front section where the blue pin is is a very weak structural point.
Original wheel well detail sanded away
Minor surgery to make room for the PE wheel wells
All in place - looking good 🙂
Ugly blob to fix
MG 151 (true multimedia in action :-D)
Almost ready with the basic build
Making spray masks in inkscape

Yeah the resin kit was made for the Revel kit. I was like "how much different could this be?". Quite a bit 🙂 But I am glad I figured out how to fit it to the Trumpeter kit.I was also surprised how much I enjoyed it. May be, because I have quite strong motivation with this...

I always wondered how resin parts go with kits other than the ones they were designed for (never tried it). I am glad to see you getting into resin, brass etc 👍 👍 👍. Personally, I enjoy the building phase of modeling the most.

For comparison I am building another Avia S-199 from the Revell kit 🙂 The resin parts fit much better. Not great, but better 🙂
I am into painting the most. But, I want to improve my building skills - mostly inspired by the work of some people here.
