Waiting for information about the price and availability of the possible add-ons, before I decide when to start this kit

Always nice to see people watching your work.

Just added pics of the finished engine. A kit in it self, though you wouldn't say so. The engine alone takes up 4 pages of of the manual. Even the pistons are included! Work has started on the cockpit...

That motor is insane! You could leave a head off for some exquisite maintenance dio😎

Watching attentively!

Yes the level of detail is awesome, yet the battery leads, which are quite visible are completely absent?

Erwin Leetink
Finished the cockpit area. Dis some extra detailing around the radio and battery though.

After a botched paint job I wanted to strip off the paint using the cleaner of the paint. This ate away at the plastic. Have to order new part from Zoukei-Mura.

Anthony Flanagan
Ouch! I hope you get the replacement soon. The progress looks really good thus far.

14 February 2020, 19:12

Erwin Leetink
It appears that the cleaner contains acetone. The expected delivery time is 2 weeks... Just payed today. The cost of 2 sprues incl. Shipping is €25,-

While waiting on the replacement parts to arrive from Japan, in order to replace the misformed parts, I still managed to make some progress...

Just mated the fuselage and wings. Now awaiting the forcing, filling and sanding. Getting somewhere alright!

Erwin Leetink
Put on the base colors. Not perfect, but satisfied nonetheless.

Love the work thus far. Looks like you are going to show off interior wing details and interior fuselage details? Would like your thoughts on what you chose to show and why. Still watching and enjoying your work. Cheers!

Erwin Leetink
Thanks Anthony. I want to show the inner details as much as possible, since the kit offers so much of them, and the kit offers, by virtue of the way of construction, great opportunity to do so, thought I went a bit further than the standard options.
Only the control wires, levers etc are missing. This information is rather hard to come by.
Therefore I don't try to add it.
I am nearing completion, so keep an eye on this space.. 🙂

After a couple of months hard work, I can call this beautifull kit finished.
Maybe somegroundworks will be added in the future, together with a pilot figure, but the plane is done.
Allas, something went wrong, because of which the front part of the canopy has become claudy.Since there is nothing to be done about that, I have no choice as to leave it like this.
I hope you like it nevertheles...

Erwin you have done an amazing job!
I love the almost cutaway look of the wing tops.
The cockpit, engine & landing gear compartment is just brilliant 😉
I didn't even notice the cloudy cockpit canopy!

27 March 2020, 13:07

Erwin Leetink
Yeah That is a great feature of the kit! That is why I decided to leave it like this...

Thanks for the compliments. I did my best 🙂
