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.

Thought some riveting exercise would be helpful.

This kit doesn't provide exhaust pipes - checked the spare box for usefull things,...

...and creating them by myself.

Some modification on the engine cover/pylon is needed.

After another milling session the exhaust pipe....

Interior almost done.

The clear parts to not show a good fit....

February 11, 2024
...some filling of gabs needed here.

February 11, 2024
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....

....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 😉

Another thing I almost missed....landing light.

Ok - here we...sit. 🙂

As the the Austrian Thyphoons whizzed past this Kansan recendl and theSchopf tractor has towed them back in the hangar, I can now put this bird back on the work-bench. Primer application was done last weekend.

Nicolas, Lukasz & Cuajete - thx. The pink is great - I had a weak moment to go for a "what if" livery, because I liked it pink too.
That moment is gone - moved forward with application of white paint. The ultimate pink --> to red test will follow soon. 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Now the red paint is applied. Prepairing the bird now for the decals,.....
