Caravelle F-BJTR "Principauté de Monaco"
And off we go!
Nice place for the injection hole, isnt't it?
That's all I could achieve with the interior frets.
Had to stabilise the rear one using the wood glue.
Not the best fit, is it?
More sanding...
After few days of sanding and priming and sanding and priming...
Actually it's not hard enough for sanding 🙁
Once you peel off the stickers (they go off almost on their own anyway) it says "Light Lock" 😄
In case the user is able to leave no residue, than the glue is quite shiny and transparent after drying.
I'm going to use it for the windows too.

After a week the UV glue started drying inside, blocked the tip and I had to throw it away.
Definitely not recommended, solely because of the packaging. 🙁

I managed to cut my own masks, trying to get them symmetrical.
Hopefully final surfacing.
Couple of corrections are needed on the undersides.
First use of the Gunze SM paints, this is the panel difference I wanted to achieve on my MiG-15 some time ago.
Engine reference pic.
The parts I'm using to get the engine nacelles right.
The result of UV gluing, sanding, masking and spraying 😉
Decals a minute after submersion...
... and after trying to move them around 🙁
Fighting for the tail continues...
The decal window shape compared with the windshield shape (masks were cut to fit it as much as I could).
You can also read one of the most ridiculous texts I have ever seen in the model kit instructions 😄

Original exhausts.
I dedicate this pic to Thomas K. of course 😄

The plastic drink straws (already passe on the market) seem to be quite flexible 🙂
They are so small that it's hard to get the macro focus on them 🙂

To switch the focus, I started playing with the exhausts.
Managed to fit the canopy frame...
... however some corrections are needed as my masks were too long.
So, even BOA set has errors - have a look at the light-blue stripes 🙁
Started the decalling today.
