despite the old mould it's a surprising good kit. Shapes seems correct and fit is good.I started the kit about two weeks ago but the time to post is really few :(
So the box and sprues first:
clear parts really well done and the opened version works perfect, just a bad step in front of the windscreen that will show after
Cockpit wall are clear of details, some scratch i'll do
Wells are perfect in dept but withouth details
Wings cleared
Glued wings pieces and propeller group
A first way to detail the cockpit, stretched sprue and palstic sheet to simulate rudder pedals basement. Also cut the vertical rudder
A test fitting reveals some correction: IP too long in height and the floor must be deeper
So the solution, also starting to reproduce the cockpit structures
new IP shape
Structuring sides
removed the long gun from wings to help sanding sessions, also make holes for reference
tried a new way for IP instruments, border with copper wire but i sucessfully glued only three of them :( and not perfect work
Structuring the floor that give me the way to glue it to the rest of cockpit, the lond botto rods will used as pins too
the seat modified too but not yet finished
Pins housing
test fitting
That's all for now, at the next
