Taking a seat! 😉

Moreno Baruffini
Wow! I wasn't aware of this plane. Following with a lot of interest!

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome mates.
Me neither, until I visited the Duebendorf museum 🙂

Patryk S.
Following! Very interresting project!

Michael Kohl
Is Duebendorf worth a visit?

Moreno Baruffini
I'm also curious about Dübendorf, now the Alptransit tunnel is closed, but It should be a nice trip from southern Alps

Łukasz Gliński
Well, I visited Dübendorf only once, more than a decade ago. Not that the Switzerland changes very quickly, but it was a while ago 😉
Not the biggest one I've been to (don't expect the size of Duxford), but very interesting. As it's in CH, there are many unique airplanes on display, so highly recommended.
The C36 was unfortunately parked the way you couldn't see the interior v.well, so there's a lot of guesswork involved in this build. Kora's kit has the same interior setup for all C36 versions which is not true for sure.

Cuajete
Interesting!

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome amigo 👍 I had to use some brute force today, but the fuselage has been closed

Edward MacKenzie
Well, it's time for me to take a seat here too, especially because i have this kit in my stash and live 10 minutes from Duebendorf 😉

Moreno Baruffini
...At the end of the day, I've also bought this kit! Great progress 👍

Bernd Grün
Promising start, Lukasz. Following! 👍

Cuajete
Looking good so far, Łukasz. Go on!

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks a lot, it's sort of on hold currently, as I prefer sanding the resin kits outdoors 🙂

Nicolas
Joining in

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Cuajete
I agree with you, Łukasz 👍
Despite this, it is advisable to use a mask or you can even sand inside a bag if you do not do it outdoors. Resin dust is toxic and can be carcinogenic.

Michael Kohl
Consider wet sanding. It ameliorates the dust problem considerably. Not using a dust mask when dry sanding resin isn't the most brilliant idea - being it in- or outside.

Łukasz Gliński
Just to be clear, inside or putside - mask is always there, I just skip cleaning the residue from the modelling room 👍

Bernd Grün
Nice start, Lukasz! 👍 Following!

Moreno Baruffini
Already summer in Poland Łukasz? 😉 What do you use as filler?

Łukasz Gliński
CA glue and some fancy sand from Revell Fix kit. Still, lots of sanding ahead

Cuajete
Great, Łukasz! Summer makes you even stronger 💪

Thomas Kolb
Cool project although I missed the first part! I am reserving my seat.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome Thomas, great to see you here. I advanced a bit lately and managed to force the canopy into submission (just in case you wondered - there are 2 pieces in the kit)

Ben M
I've had the same issue with vacu canopies. Each one has gotten a little better for me.

Moreno Baruffini
Glad to see you again working on this Łukasz!

Zbynek Honzik
Taking a seat, Łukasz! This project looks very interesting.

Cuajete
Good progress!

Łukasz Gliński
Gruezi my friends 👍

Thomas Bischoff
time to join the show 👍

Alec K
Same. The canopy looks great 👍

Mirko Römer
Great work so far!

Alexander Grivonev
Never ever heard of this airplane 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome folks, progress is slow, but I hope to start painting soon (this year at least)

Juergen Klinglhuber
Checkin' this out,...

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome JK 👍
After priming I found out a lot of bubbles in the resin, in particular on the fuselage - trying to locate and fill'em all.

Cuajete
I'm glad to see this project being resumed, Łukasz.
If you can't get rid of any bubbles, you can say they are bullet holes or pellet holes 😛

Moreno Baruffini
Ahahaha, I agree with Cuajete!

Łukasz Gliński
My first encounter with Kelik's 3D decals didn't look very promising at the start.
But the final result (using the PVA glue) turned out better than expected.
Take a closer look at the ejection handle - it's printed on both sides! (I put it back to front of the cockpit)
I can only highly recommend this stuff 👍 And didn't even use the whole set 😄

Maciej Bellos
Watching!!!

Łukasz Gliński
Gia sas my friend 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
Tagging along! 👍🏼

DerMattes
Watching 👍

Vincent
Also watching!

Alec K
Nice! That ejection handle is something esle, I like that a lot.

Cuajete
A very nice decoration, Łukasz!
I also plan to do the same using Syhart decals, better than those included in Revell. And the special set for this decoration of MRP paint cans (MRP-207).
If you can find them I recommend them.

Very nice cockpit 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Thank you and welcome everyone!
@Cuajete: I already have a BilModel paint bought a loooong time ago. If you have Syhart decal (I assume it's the same as Revell's one is printed by them) you need only the brighter orange of the two included in MRP set. The darker one is for those who want to spray the lion themselves.

Raphael Bolle
also following, very nice work

Cuajete
Łukasz, Shyhart decals are not the same as Revell decals. Shyhart decals reproduce the color effect of this decoration better than Revell decals. I was going to use the decals from the Revell kit, but I was able to get the Shyhart one at a good price (I had already gotten the paints from MRP before). If you don't have Shyhart decals, Revell decals are not that bad. I don't know BilModel's paintings. I'm curious to see the result 👍

In any case I'm sure you'll do a great job as always, 😉

Łukasz Gliński
I have to admit I'm surprised a lot, I thought they're the same 😮 Good to know, thx
I have only a single bottle of BilModel paint and yes that's the demo orange - seems to be a lacquer luckily (tested using various thinners), so it should work well, fingers crossed.

Cuajete
Perfect, Łukasz! 👌
No, it's not the same. I was looking for the review where I saw a comparison between both decals, but I can't find it.
I'm looking forward to seeing the result of that demo 🙂

Jan Peters
Somehow I've missed this 👀
Dutch F16 means following for sure!

Robert Podkoński
Taking a first row seat!

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome Robert!
Spent last few evenings filling and sanding the side-ducts (or whatever they should be called), now they are good enough to get the blue me thinks (along with the cockpit).
