PZL-37B Los II by MisterCraft
A beautiful airplane is expected to emerge from it.
After seeing the only build video that I've found about the kit, I was expecting a complicated endeavour.
Actually, it was not so. There were parts that needed cleanup and some bad fittings, but overall all was manageable.
This was the first dry fitting test.
I failed, so I decided to repaint the model and leave it as it was intended.
After all, it is a kit created in the eighties, with limited detail.
This model had huge crevices to fill.
It actually came off better than one of those fancy Revell airliners that I still struggle to get right.
If you make it, it's good. If you break it, at least you get some extra practice.
But they were few and not essential. The main color touches are there.
This one is waiting for usable decals, since the original set that came in the box was bad and it broke up in many and small pieces when it came in contact with water.
I might try it again, after I develop some more modelling skills.
Thank you for watching!

This is the first of the airplanes I've built that looks good enough to be shared.
After watching the video from ModelMinutes, and the bad review resulting from it, I approached the kit as a learning experience, not expecting mch of a result. But the build was a lot of fun and the finished model looks quite nice.
I am not an experienced modeler, I still have a lot to learn. My builds are by no means perfect,but each one gets better, step by step.
