Can't miss an IF project 👍
That windshield is terrible - what's your plan for it?
And most importantly - are you going to build Lady Agnes? 🙂

Hi mates. Nice to have your interest and you on board. Thanks Zbynek. So far it took much more effort than I expected. Lets see how it continues.
@Mr D: childhood memories. I suppose you build it in scale 1:100? VEB Plasticard?
Lukasz, I bent and glued it und sanded it flush afterwards. As I will use the Authentic Airliner decals for the cockpit windows, they do not need to be transparent.

Good choice Sir, the AA window decals are super cool.
Unfortunately some of their livery decals have some errors.

Yeah, I was surprised by the fit issue too. On the upside are definitely very fine and consistent engravings which I hope to preserve.
And - by the way - it won't be Lady Agnes¹. I like to represent the plane I flew to Moscow with. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of this particular aircraft and am thus not sure about it's actual registration. The history of some a/c is available to me, so I can rule out some. And I photographed two parked IL-62M too while taxiing which I can rule out too.
With these informations I ruled out registration: SEW, SEC, SEF, SEG, SEY and SEK. So right now I will go for registration DDR-SET.
¹ a word for those not familiar with Lady Agnes. She is obviously an IL-62M too and was flown to Stölln. After being stripped of everything unnecessary she landed on a 900m grasstrip (how on earth did they manage to get a permission for that?!) and is used now as a Cafe there in it's original Interflug livery.
You've never heard of Stölln? It is located in the federal state of Brandenburg, about 40km west of Berlin and is the oldest aviation site on earth and in the history of mankind. No other that Otto Lilienthal tested some of his gliders there.

Oh, a very personal project - watching! Sorry, I digged so deep into my build that I missed yours.
So I'm now in and good luck!
Regarding putty: I'm now a fan of Tamiya light curing putty which hardens quickly with UV light.
If wee meet again I like to hear more background about this trip and can provide other insights 😉

Looking good, really nice shaped Airliner 👍
Do you use the black to find imperfections?? Or is it a pre-shading??
I'm in process of building the Veb Be-6 Soviet flying boat, and may help me to do similar.
Thanks for your uploads... Like anything from Soviet era n russian.

Welcome mate. Always nice to have you around.
Yes, Mr D, I use the black primer to identify imperfections as the grey one is too close to the plastic color and with the white one, flaws are not that visible. The downside is that it takes a lot of color to cover the black. So next time I will most likely go for a lighter primer color.

Thanks 👍👍 for letting me know, l built the Yak-3 made by Zvezda, lit was quite nice to build, some of the fine parts were really accurate, but then it was bit gapy around the wing, but otherwise pretty good.

Hello all. I am looking for a Hercules 1/144 model kit. The only one I have found so far is the Academy kit (1/144 C-130J-30 Super Hercules, 1999-present 1263). I have no experience of Academy kits and there seem to be no reviews on here. It's a relatively cheap kit so I am wondering it is really old and basic. Judging by the instructions I have downloaded, it seems fairly basic.
Does anyone have experience of this kit or Academy kits in general? TIA.

No idea. I am guessing any Academy Hercules kits, are re-branded kits from older molds, from Minicraft. I think Hasegawa has some 1:200 kits, but different scale, and might be mostly Japanese stuff.

Yes, the Hercules is a re-boxed Minicraft kit. I think I will probably buy one and find out. It's only about £21.

If the panel lines are nasty like some Airfix kits (too large) you can always try spend a little time filling in the panel lines with putty.

There a few 1/144 Hercules but most of them are either old kits or by companies which produce short-run kits that may not be the best quality. If you can wait it looks like Great Wall Hobby are due to release one this year and they usually are excellent kit - although not cheap.
