Moreno BaruffiniWow! I wasn't aware of this plane. Following with a lot of interest!

Łukasz Gliński АуторWelcome mates.
Me neither, until I visited the Duebendorf museum 🙂

Moreno BaruffiniI'm also curious about Dübendorf, now the Alptransit tunnel is closed, but It should be a nice trip from southern Alps
23 August 2023, 18:16
Łukasz Gliński АуторWell, I visited Dübendorf only once, more than a decade ago. Not that the Switzerland changes very quickly, but it was a while ago 😉
Not the biggest one I've been to (don't expect the size of Duxford), but very interesting. As it's in CH, there are many unique airplanes on display, so highly recommended.
The C36 was unfortunately parked the way you couldn't see the interior v.well, so there's a lot of guesswork involved in this build. Kora's kit has the same interior setup for all C36 versions which is not true for sure.

Łukasz Gliński АуторWelcome amigo 👍 I had to use some brute force today, but the fuselage has been closed

Edward MacKenzieWell, it's time for me to take a seat here too, especially because i have this kit in my stash and live 10 minutes from Duebendorf 😉

Moreno Baruffini...At the end of the day, I've also bought this kit! Great progress 👍

Łukasz Gliński АуторThanks a lot, it's sort of on hold currently, as I prefer sanding the resin kits outdoors 🙂
6 January 2024, 21:25
CuajeteI agree with you, Łukasz 👍
Despite this, it is advisable to use a mask or you can even sand inside a bag if you do not do it outdoors. Resin dust is toxic and can be carcinogenic.

Michael KohlConsider wet sanding. It ameliorates the dust problem considerably. Not using a dust mask when dry sanding resin isn't the most brilliant idea - being it in- or outside.
7 January 2024, 20:52
Łukasz Gliński АуторJust to be clear, inside or putside - mask is always there, I just skip cleaning the residue from the modelling room 👍
7 January 2024, 21:33
Łukasz Gliński АуторCA glue and some fancy sand from Revell Fix kit. Still, lots of sanding ahead

Thomas KolbCool project although I missed the first part! I am reserving my seat.
8 April 2024, 18:50
Łukasz Gliński АуторWelcome Thomas, great to see you here. I advanced a bit lately and managed to force the canopy into submission (just in case you wondered - there are 2 pieces in the kit)
18 August 2024, 15:07
Ben MI've had the same issue with vacu canopies. Each one has gotten a little better for me.
18 August 2024, 15:22
Łukasz Gliński АуторWelcome folks, progress is slow, but I hope to start painting soon (this year at least)
5 September 2024, 18:24
Łukasz Gliński АуторWelcome JK 👍
After priming I found out a lot of bubbles in the resin, in particular on the fuselage - trying to locate and fill'em all.
20 October 2024, 20:09
CuajeteI'm glad to see this project being resumed, Łukasz.
If you can't get rid of any bubbles, you can say they are bullet holes or pellet holes 😛
21 October 2024, 18:56
Łukasz Gliński АуторMany thanks for following, finally the painting phase has been started.
White went first, now time for masking, which is a challenge in case of Swiss neutrality markings.

Łukasz Gliński АуторThe red has been added today, I used Tamiya X-7, now wondering if it's not too dark 🙂
5 January, 20:47
CuajeteIn the pic it looks a bit darker than the red on the decals, but it's better to see it with your own eye. Anyway, there seems to be little difference 👍
I'm glad to see this project up and running again 🙂
6 January, 18:13
Łukasz Gliński АуторIt was up & running all the time, just too many things to correct and fix 🙁
Meanwhile I oversprayed the Tamiya's red with Mr Color Super Italian Red, but forgot to take a picture 😄
The light blue RLM65 is drying right now, only dark green left.
2 6 January, 20:50
Łukasz Gliński АуторWelcome Jennifer, just in time to take a look at the main colours.
In the end I made my own green by mixing 50/50 the NATO Green (I know it should be neutrality camo 😉) and RLM71
Next stage - corrections 🙂 lots of them.
11 January, 11:23
Zbynek HonzikŁukasz, you've moved on nicely. It's turning out to be a great model. 🙂
11 January, 12:00
Łukasz Gliński АуторThanks mates, give me some time for corrections (mainly tail and cowling need it)
1 13 January, 20:35
Łukasz Gliński АуторWell, I have installed the undercarriage today just to find out Kora provided two left wheels 😄
They are delivered as "weighted" (or at least that's how I cut them off the resin block 😄) and the right wheel has the "weight" in the front while the full tyre is where it meets the ground 😄
Will fill it soon, stay tuned

Łukasz Gliński АуторIt was time today to start decalling and what a disappointment it is!
The dog noseart is full of brown-ish halftone - I'm correcting it by hand. Yellow triangles are the same.
Moreover - the decals are very thin, very translucent and the crosses are oversized. I should have painted them on my own 🙁
Luckily MarkI issued some replacement for Swiss marking, I need to order them. The other markings will need also corrections by hand.
I don't think I'll finish before Wrocław Model Show unfortunately 🙁
22 March, 20:48
Moreno BaruffiniI'm very sad to hear that! I have the same kit and also I should have some Swiss markings... I'll check tomorrow If my kora decals are better (I don't think so but maybe), and, in case, I could send it to you...
22 March, 21:15
Łukasz Gliński АуторMille grazie Moreno, but I think all the boxings have the same decal set. The replacement set has multiple sizes, so I think one them will match after all.
1 22 March, 21:23
Jennifer FranklinThat is disappointing Lukasz. I'm sorry you may miss your Model Show.
1 23 March, 01:50
Thomas KolbI am sure this will be one great model in the end to be proud of, but you seem to pick your themes where you are bound to struggle.
1 23 March, 05:50
Moreno Baruffini@Łukasz: I just checked my box and I discovered that contains the kit 72127, the efw c-3603 with new wings 🙂 Some confusion by my friends at kora and LF models ahah. I can't help you, but I'm sure you will obtain a great model, overall!
1 23 March, 08:31
Łukasz Gliński АуторWe shall see - the replacement decals' ETA is Tuesday 🙂
I already scraped off the crosses
