Thanks Gorby! This is my second vacu kit build and this time it feels a little bit more straight forward…
My experience so far with vacu kits is that you have to spend a good amount of time on fitting, sanding and putty work to get a nice base for paint and finishing. Also spending quite some time reviewing old photos to get a good picture of the details. This as there is a fair amount of scratch work to get a decent build.

You're a brave man, indeed! I will follow this thread with pleasure, for sure.

Thanks Mr D for your comments.
There will certainly be scratch build involved, mainly regarding the details as it looks for now. Otherwise I will raid my spare part stash first in order to save time and frustration.
If you are intrested in vac kits you can also have a look at my first vac kit:

@Mr D - yes you will need some good scissors as a start😅, for the fine tuning of the parts I normally use saw razor blades and sanding paper of variuos grits. Regarding glue I use "normal" Tamyia Extra Thin, the vacu kit plastic is often quite soft and melts easily.

@Skyhiker - Happy to hear that your following with great intrest. Usually the building pace goes down during the sommer period as I have been reminded that we have a garden that also need some TLC…😂
Nevertheless, yes there is planning and ordning of parts going on behind the scenes. Cockpit need to be done, rescribing the full kit, alignment of wheels as the mold was totally off-set. Drill out all machine guns for after market parts etc.
The main work will be to prepare the plane for NMF look also including some aluminum dope areas. Will try AK's metal paints this time. Stay tuned!

Luckily the old Russian saying applies to Sweden too - "we have only 10 months of winter, but all the rest is summer!" 😄

Mr D - regarding reference photos and material, did research some photos and blue prints on-line. In addition I have also checked out some ref builds both in 1/72 & 1/48 for further input on details.
Yes, the PE venting turned out good. Next step is to paint the cockpit and glue the airframe together

Great 👍👍 l like something different n interesting like this.
I recently used the thick tin foil of a hot chocolate lid to make a lost seat belt, it worked really well.
Like the seat.
Thanks for input n uploading 😁👌

Thanks Thomas, really appreciate your comment!
As usual the project ambition increases over time…😂

Mr D - thanks for your intrest and encouraging comments.
This time I went the easy way with just some tape for seat belts

Thanks! Feels always nice when the main build part is done and everything is aligned. Now time for rescribing.

Thank you guys! I will try to imitate the rivets in the next few days.

Unfortunately the model has suffered unrepaired damage and will not be completed. 😥 Maybe I will buy the kit again later.

Starting stronger since the A350 catastrophe. Cockpit sub assembled with the Eduard Detail set, painted and weathered. Couldnt take more pictures of the progress due to the details being so small 🥴🥴

My goodness, that cockpit looks stunning! Are you sure it's not 48 scale?

Thanks Michael!
I could have hoped Thomas😅😅. It would have made my life way easier. Though the PE details helped a lot
13 August, 14:28

Agree with everyone - the cockpit looks great! Chipping at this scale is impressive

Thanks guys, waiting to get free from work this week to star painting the fuselage and engine. Let's see how that turns out

Engine almost done, except for the PE parts. I'm amazed of how it's all turning out tbh, didn't expect this great finish on such small parts

Thanks for sharing! Pictures 41 - 44 are of special interest to me. My artillery unit was equipped with these self propelled 175 mm guns.

I like "what if" models, so following!!!
Ps I also sometimes take pictures with wet paint, no problem 😉👍🏻

Good progress! Concerning the landing lights, you could sand them a bit, and then finish with polishing 😉

![](/profiles/img/12803-s.jpg)
Thank You, Moreno. One of them went missing since then (perhaps not enough glue was applied, and it fell off while I was working on the wings), so I'll have to make one from scratch. A piece of clear sprue might do the job.
