I only and sincerely hope that you quadruple checked your references that the original plane didn't have an "Airfix" molded on the cockpit side walls - lest you have to scratch new ones. 😉

I'm in. Got the Airfix kit and the Pavla detail set in my stash, but I'm thinking about replacing it with the AVI kit. I think your report will be a big help there.

Great! The Bird Dog Society has begun. I have felt a great disturbance in the Force, but I remembered that Łukasz is a great tamer of hard plastics 😉
It looks like those photo-etches are doing a good job 👌

So... if the AVI kit is destined for the representation of Major Buang-Ly's plane... I'm also eager to see what the Airfix kit will be...

You're absolutely right Alex - AVI's going to be Major's BirdDog and Airfix is destined to be boxart DJ-coded one.
I was thinking of Maltese markings for it, but there are none available.
Cuajete, the PE are quite good, but the Airwaves set has quite unclear hand-drawn instructions, which is challenging sometimes.
Nicolas, wish I could fetch the Pavla tail set, I need to try restoring the raised lines after having to remove the injection marks.

I'd wish there would be a conversion kit to a Siai SM 1019. But I think I have to scratchbuild the different cowling, propeller and tailsection.

Thanks and good to see you. I progressed a bit with AVI set as Airfix requires some corrections, namely tail and windows

Wow, that cockpit looks beautiful! Are the wings joined to the transparent canopy only? Are you using CA or regular styrene solvent? I find that transparent plastic doesn't create a strong bond using regular styrene cement, but maybe you are more skilled than me.

Shhh, Thomas, so far it does stay together 😉
Actually the greenhouse is build using CA in some places and Mr Cement SP in others.
I think it depends on the material used by the manufacturer, for example Zvezda lately is known for using polyethylene afaik.

Łukasz, you are doing a very good job with the Airfix kit. At this rate it will have a better result than the AVI one 😉

This one is likely to be a quick little build. It's basically the companion piece to the Puss Moth, so I felt like I couldn't really build one without the other. Erik is right though, the kit is of an impressive vintage. It is indeed a few years older than I am, and has the flash to prove it. 🙂
Anyway, thanks for joining, there's plenty of seats available, so no shoving. 😉

Well, it's supposed to be a Hawker Hart apparently... but the Hawker Demon is close enough... I mean, it's not like it's a Spitfire. 😉

And only a masochist with ADHD would consider trying to convert it back to a Hart like the original 1957 tool... 🤪

I mean, besides the dip between the two cockpits... are there any other differences? They look quite similar to me...

Well, the "dip between the two cockpits" is the main difference I was referring to above... Plus, you'll have to skip the Demon's long exhausts, I guess...

The main difference between a Demon and a Hart is the exhausts, the turret and the starboard machine gun. Will send a PM

IF however (regardless of how a real Hart should be) what is shown in the comic ("That's what I call" etc frame) is indeed a starboard mg (please correct me if I'm wrong...) then starting with a Demon kit was perhaps indeed a better idea than starting with a Hart kit.... IF this is the case... then you'll only have to deal with the rear seat/turret thing and the free (ala Fury) exhausts, no?

Yeah. I think so. Matthew provided some detailed comparison images but after looking at them and at the main page from the album... it seems to be a little bit of both...

A couple of updates. The supports next to the fuselage were so weak that 3/4 of them snapped even before I got them off the sprue. So instead I just used some bent wire. The holes they are meant to slot into were gaping caverns as well, so a fair amount of putty was needed to make it at least slightly better. Now I'm left with a decision to make. The Hawker Demon has two large exhaust tubes that run from the engine down the sides. They're not present in the Tintin album (which most closely resembles a Hawker Heart I believe). So... do I leave the two side holes and the large trenches on either side of the engine cowling, or do I just shrug my shoulders and use the parts that came in the box?
The Blue Rider decals went on easily enough. They're a bit shiny, but I think I can deal with that.

Thanks Matthew. I'm quite pleased with how the colouring came out too. A 2:1 ratio of Tamiya Buff (XF-57) and Khaki (XF-49) seems to have done the trick... or at least close enough for me.

Welcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.

Working on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.

Nathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.

In this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.

I'm using both AK & Mig panel wash. For the bottom I used Grey-Blue and for the top I haven't decided whether I'll use a dark brown or black wash. Of course for the black areas I'll use the Stone Grey wash which I think is Mig.

Thanks Dutch! Today I completed painting the canopy framing and the wheels. Also my clear gloss arrived in the mail today, so I'll be able to apply that to the entire aircraft. After that I only need to paint the anti-glare panel on the upper cowl. Nearing the finish line.
