Started about a month ago.
Almost correct kit with some difficulty to build propertly.
Box'n'sprues
Kits invluded the american version and cut wing tips version but i'll go with the boxart version
First step cleaned the cockpit and glued nose parts for better fuselage fitting
filling walls with some structure
ready for paint, cylinders went from the kate or sonia...
original seat and cockpit
aluminium stripes on rudder pedals
glued more pieces and added rear details
IP is good too, only added some hole and scratchbuilded a new thinner side acces door
gunsight added with an extension and a new square glass (not the one in picture... after i'll show it
)
Removed original wells and thinned the borders
tried to add a grill to the larger radiator inner
A plastic strip to close the upper air intake hole
added walls and new structures to new wells
And glued wings
The kit also included two versions of propeller , these ones are for the british version
Starting to paint with italeri acrylics
And finished with drybrush and washings
And before to glue fuselages
After i glued the gunsight forward because was too close to the cloche
And glued main pieces
After three layers of azure 89 and white
Three layers of darkened humbrol 94 and two layers od 29 brown
And the actual state with three layers of humbrol 29
Cut out original gears compass and scratchbuilded new ones
And painted with wheels
tht's all for now
At the next!
