October 23, 2022The kit offers two versions for the instrument panel:
A) a flat plastic part + two layers of preprinted etched parts
B) a 3D plastic part + decal.
I decided to use the B version because of the better “depth” of the plastic part.2

October 23, 2022Lightening holes in the rear spar are represented in the kit as relief. I drilled them “out”.5
October 23, 2022The fit of the moveable surfaces (flap and aileron) is perfect. No gap!6
October 24, 2022The cowling consist 4 main parts plus bulkhead and engine relief. The main parts fits nearly perfectly. I intend to install both exhaust stacks after painting the cowling red. White plastic as support is well visible.7
October 24, 2022The same situation on the lower side: perfect fit, no putty required.8
October 24, 2022I fixed each wing with two tiny drops of CA (on the front and rear) and glued them with ethylacetate.9
October 24, 2022Sink marks fixed: filled with CA and plastic, sanded smooth and restored panel lines and ribs.10

October 24, 2022Instead etched part P5 I used a piece of flattened 0,23 mm wire (both ends not flattened for better alignment in 2 z 0,25 mm hole).12
October 26, 2022Unbelievable: not even a week since the beginning of working on this kit and today I have airbrushed the base color! 🙂. The plane is indeed really very small and simple. Usually I do not choose white but a hue which is quite similar to the end color: a mixture of light grey and red.
By the way: this little vise accompanies me as the third helping hand in more than 20 years🙂13

October 28, 2022I just inspected the result of yesterday's airbrush session and removed the masks from the glass parts. I was very surprised how clean and without lint or dust the red succeeded🙂. Exactly the brilliance I wanted. 🙂16
October 29, 2022First batch of decals in place. The quality is excellent!17
