I hope you have not paid too much for the Wrecker as the prices are crazy ... and I hope for a build log 🙂

Martin Oostrom
The cab has a small tear in it and the hood is a bit warped, so the seller and I agreed €100 was a decent price.
You can see the damage here: Peterbilt | Album by Mahoo76
It will be built. Crazy ideas are floating around in my head, but I might just go for the kit option.

Spanjaard

Final model looks like it might perhaps be heavy, can the landing gear handle the weight?

jan zumack
He treehugger, i tested the legs with 2kg per leg, i hope it is enough. If its not i drill in a seperat roundsteel to Catch the weight.

Dash Rendar
Damn, those tiny pipes around the jet exhausts. Very cool.

Skyhiker
Picture 210 looks like a boom box. I wonder what kind of funky music would come out of that?

Without a doubt, one of the coolest modeling projects ever seen, and there's a ton here on Scalemates. The final result will be something to behold

Alberto Michieletto
You are a space engineer Jan! It's an impressive piece of work.

jan zumack

Cuajete
A classic old and hard kit from Łukasz... I can't miss it!

Patryk S.
Following! Is this build an indication and warning of an incoming Czapla build?😜 Greetings!

Maciej Bellos
Oh, gotta see this one!

Moreno Baruffini
Oh wow! Following!

Mr D
Nice 👍👍

Nicolas
Count me in as well.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome everyone, glad to have you on board.
@Patryk: LOL, it is waiting in the stash indeed, but I'd like to train some tricks on Łoś and RWDs 6&8 first 😄

Andrzej Rygiel
Insert "I was there 3000 years ago" meme 😄 I got this as a souvenir from our family trip to Poland back in the 80's and finished it in one afternoon sitting straight after our return. I do not doubt you are going to make much better PZL.37 replica than I did back then...

Alec K
Ahh, I have this thing somewhere, in glorious blue. Watching, of course.

Ben M
👀 just what I like

Mr D
Nice to do a vintage kit... takes you back.
I remember doing the Matchbox Electric lightning ⚡ with my dad as a boy..
Good luck with everything 👍👍

Robert Podkoński
Somehow I missed that... taking a seat, of course! (I kinda "built" this kit three or four times as a kid...)

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome everyone, glad to see y'all here 👍
Say hello to the crew members awaitng varnish and washing.
Alec, I'm very jealous, I have failed to locate the turquoise one 😄
Andy&Rob - I sort of built at least two, no more I could remember, one has been lost 'flying' (in my hand) somewhere over my parents garden 😄
Andy - you're welcome 😄

Mr D
Nice to see this one making a start.... nice project
Looking good 👍👍

Moreno Baruffini
Hello!!!! 😊

Zbynek Honzik
I built this Łoś kit about 35-40 years ago.
These are memories...
Good luck with the build Łukasz! 🍀👍

Cuajete
First steps. Great!

Alec K
Looks like a great progress on this one Łukasz 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Thank you mates - now you can behold the main colours. Each of them got a filter on top as I wasn't happy with the shades 😄

Moreno Baruffini
I think that you exactly catch the perfect colour for the livery! What colour did you used? I remember that ten years ago I tried to build a "Karas" and I discussed a lot with my Italian mates about the right shade... 😉

Łukasz Gliński
Ciao Moreno
I used the following colours: C010 Dark Polish Khaki, Hataka Hobby Orange Line Matt, Acrylic Lacquer, 17ml & C036 Light Blue-Grey, Hataka Hobby Orange Line Matt, Acrylic Lacquer, 17ml
However they didn't match my liking, the khaki being too brownish and the latter - neither light nor blue, just grey.
So I added a bit of filter on top using very thinned C084 Kaki Français, Hataka Hobby Orange Line Matt, Acrylic Lacquer, 17ml & C083 Gris Blue Clair, Hataka Hobby Orange Line Matt, Acrylic Lacquer, 17ml

Moreno Baruffini
Great! Thanks for the tip! Ciao!
Ps I'm a fan of the Hataka colours, I find them very good 👍🏼

Bas Tonn
Interesting... curious about the progress
Keep up the good work

Alec K
Ah, the khaki! Is it green? Or brown?! No, it's…. Neither
😂😂😂

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks mates. Hope to start decalling soon.
Alec, the IBG Łoś' is even bigger riddle in this context - it shows Hataka's Dark Khaki as equivalent of Lifecolor's TM008 - former being very brown as you can see, the latter (sitting in my paint cabinet too) being grey-greenish 😄
Moreno - di niente, you're always welcome 👍

Alec K
Those color equivalencies are sometimes waaay off. One can go batty trying to dial them in. I like your "it looks good to my eye" approach 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Original decals are so bad, that I need to order modern version by Techmod, so slight delay is imminent

Moreno Baruffini
...A "classic" choice with vintage models 😉

Cuajete
Fortunately, decals can still be found for some older kits 👍

Kenneth
42-451 is the aircraft for which markings are provided in the kit

Kenneth
Lateral and lower camera ports added by drilling out the required holes, attaching masking tape to a piece of clear plastic, punching out the transparencies and fixing them from the inside with Kristal Klear

Kenneth
Struggling a bit with the cockpit; the part constituting the rudder pedal assembly is too short, and the very small pictures in the instructions not very helpful either…

Nicolas
Intresting, watching.

Moreno Baruffini
Watching too!

Kenneth
Thank you for your interest, Nicolas and Moreno. More progress photos next week….

J35J
Great start! Taking a chair

Kenneth
Tack så mycket 👍

Kenneth
Additional information: Frowned upon by many, I use Revell Aqua paints and like them. Unfortunately, the range is not very complete. My imitation of RAF Interior Green is Revell Aqua Olive Green toned down with White. I'm quite pleased with the result (comes across a bit dark in the photos).

bughunter
You wrote in the project description: "The shape of the „1" in the serial number is wrong." What is the height of the number? Should I try to cut masks?

Jennifer Franklin
Following 👀

Kenneth
Thanks, I may get back to you. It's 5 mm high. They cut off the upper right-hand corner of the „1" so that it is angled at 45 deg. It should be a 90 deg angle. I'm contemplating „repairing" that corner it with small section of a white stripe from TL Decals. But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it …

bughunter
Hmm, 5mm is very small for a cutting plotter. Could be tried but I cannot promise anything. Maybe your decal solution will work better.

Kenneth
Yes, I have my doubts too, having seen what plotters can do. We will see, but many thanks for the offer nonetheless.

Nicolas
Don't worry about your speed Kenneth. There is no deadline. All that matters is that you are satisfied with the result and enjoy the time spend. BTW, you are much faster than I am.
So far it's locking very nice.

Jennifer Franklin
I don't think speed is necessarily the goal Kenneth. You are also faster than me. I hope you are enjoying yourself and, as Nicolas said, that you are happy with your result. It's looking good so far.

Kenneth
Many thanks, Nicolas and Jennifer! I'm definitely enjoying myself, and am pleased with the resutls!

Moreno Baruffini
I can only say that I totally agree with the above! Looking good 👍

Kenneth
Many thanks, Moreno!

Gordon Sørensen
Nice looking cockpit! I built the Mk.X boxing and wondered the same thing about the floor/bulkhead fit… I probably have some spare Stoppel decals if you need a '1'.

Kenneth
Tak, Gordon 🇩🇰!

Kenneth
Another accuracy issue with the kit, which I only realised lately, is the rear cockpit bulkhead. Seems that KP retained the solid bulkhead from the (pressurized) PR Mk. X, which is incorrect for the (unpressurized) PR Mk. XI. Oh well 🙄

Moreno Baruffini
Great to see you again working on this...And... Thanks for the last comment, I never heard about this issue...

bughunter
It's good that the break is over!
I think the little metal marks are ok considering that this is much smaller in real.

Kenneth
👍 Frank

Moreno Baruffini
I agree with bughunter 👍🏼

Gordon Sørensen
The chipping looks good, athough I would add a bit more to the bottom of the fuselage-side camera panel. From the pics I have seen, it looks like there is a lot of wear from loading and removing the cameras. I haven't tried the AK pencils, but have used the Prismacolour Silver before.
How do you like the PeeWit masks?

Kenneth
Thanks everyone. The masks were fine, haven't used those for the wheels yet though.
