Taking a seat, of course!
(Perhaps the transparencies and propellers from this kit would work:
Soviet Tu-2 Bomber (HobbyBoss 80298, 1:72))

Thomas Kolb
Thank you Robert! The three-bladed standard propellers in the kit are actually fine, it is the transparencies I am a bit worried about.

Me 2, must watch this - wondering how good/bad this kit is

Dave Flitton
Watching!!

Me 3, this will be another great build to follow.

I still don't understand why they haven't released a more updated tool for this model yet.

Thomas, you are a specialist in reminding me the models I started and non finished (yet)! Super inspiring, and a great build to follow for sure!

Thomas Kolb
Dear friends, thank you for your interest. I am a bit curious myself how this model will turn out - I have read some pretty nasty things about it in reviews, but I am not sure it's so bad. It certainly looks very intricately designed, not your usual shake 'n' bake kit for sure.

Thomas, you are doing always the same project what I want to do in the future with the same kits. 😀 I'm always taking a seat and save your work for motivation.

I'm in

Thomas, your tutorial is priceless! 👍

Mr D
Like this 👍👍
Big fan of soviet n russian stuff, will have to look up history on this one as new to me.
Interesting subject, Nice 😁

Cuajete
Good start, Thomas. Thank you so much for your tutorial 👍

I must say, I am pretty impressed with this kit so far. At first sight it looked like an Amodel kit, but everything is very cleverly designed and all parts fits together beautifully without any problems. The only gripe I have is with the plastic itself - it's very soft and stretchy and definitely does not like to be sanded.

Nice start, joining.

I'm here too. I have one in a box and we only see each other with it 🙂

Cuajete
Great job so far, Thomas 👍
I never bought this kit because I thought it would be difficult to deal with.

Cuajete, I must say, I am pretty impressed with this kit so far. At first sight it looked like an Amodel kit, but everything is very cleverly designed and the parts almost fall together by themselves without any problems. The only gripe I have is with the plastic itself - it's very soft and kind of stretchy, and all sanding needs to be followed by polishing to result in a smooth surface.

Cuajete
Thanks, Thomas. I'll have to consider buying the latest ICM box 👍.

Cuajete
Good progress, Thomas 👍

Mr D
Looking good 👍, the canopy is fine, be ok when all printed up, fits fuselage well, the canopy on the Revell FW-190 l did was horrendous!! Would be good for bathroom privacy glass 🤣.
What glue do you use to fix canopy??

Thomas Kolb
Mr D, I used regular Revell styrene solvent (the blue one with the needle tip). Just added a string around the fuselage edges and then placed the canopy on. I usually use water-based cement for transparencies to avoid fogging, but if you are careful, it's not a problem to use solvent.,

painted H417 around the spheres underneath

Torsten
Nice, follow 👍

Torsten
Good job, looks finished 😎

Mark Crees
yeah, finished ... didn't add most of the decals... had some problems with the larger decals, so went with the main decals and left off the minor ones. The amount of decals that was meant to be added is like decalling a F-4 Phantom ...
