KonradNew photos with version 2.0 uploaded 🙂
Wheels from kit were... to wide for me.

Robert PodkońskiFantastic work, Konrad! Looks beautiful - how was the kit (it is a "new" Kovozavody, though...)

KonradRobert - in addition to the glazing, which requires more work than I devoted to it (we're talking about the side windows) is such a shortrun standard: some lint to be sanded down, a few parts are better made of wire (for example, the shins of the main landing gear, the bar of the rear wheel.
I retrofitted: bottom and tail lights, antennas, entrance steps, Pitot, exhaust, tailwheel cables, and redid the main landing gear and tailwheel shins. I redid the hood a bit (holes, radiator, engine outline). I notched the horizontal stabilizers. I made up decals: Cessna (hood), skywagon X 185 (sides), door lettering (kit ones are too small), registration (wrong typeface omitting all the red surround). I masked the crosses on the wings (decals are too big). The paint scheme is a bit inaccurate (horizontal stabilizers). I guess that's it...

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Konrad, for this detailed description - a lot of work, indeed. I think this is far beyond my skills and patience now...
