My friend Adam kept asking me to start finally some decent modern kit, so here it is 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat! I am sure you will make it better than I did...

Villiers de Vos
The details is coming along nicely.

Harry Eder
Nice start! 👍 I'll take a seat.

Bernd Grün
Nice start Lukasz, it looks very good. Following! 👌

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks y'all and welcome 👍
I aim for that Robert, but let's see. Still hesitating to leave one of the back door open.

Zsolt Czegle
I'll take a seat! 😉

Finn
Joining in

Cuajete
Łukasz strikes bak! I can't believe you start a modern kit either 😄
I would leave those doors open 😉
Looking so good so far 🙂

Gordon Sørensen
I would leave one of the front doors open too! Looking forward to following your progress, and copying any good tips you have for my Huma Do27!

Adam Gudynowski

Djordje Nikolic
I got that kit in different boxing. Looking forward to see how your build progresses

Michael Kohl
I'll grab a chair.

Tom B.
Following this one 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Oh wow, there's more of you! Welcome and stay tuned.
Gordon, unfortunately I'm not going to.
I know they're Lambo-like 😛 but I want to keep the silhouette intact as much as possible, so only rear door are taken into account 🙂

Based on this picture

I packed the interior with a lot of seatbelts.
(That's Michael Grzimek R.I.P.)

Gary Kitchen
Nice interior Lukasz. How were the seatbelts to handle/manipulate compared to the PE type?

Łukasz Gliński
Thx Gary.
Different, that's what I can say for sure. They're sort of adhesive on unpainted side, so they tend to stick to literally everything nearby (the fabric is v.light). They're waaay thinner, but tend to return to their original shape, unless glued, I find them more realisitic to me, largely due to their thin material.
Additionally they're available in limited numbers (at least in here), I had to order each package in different shop 😮

Gary Kitchen
👍

Łukasz Gliński
Robert, need your say: did you find such a bad fit of the top transparency too? (pic #6)

Dick
Nice build so far Łukasz! Following with interest, as I bought this kit in July on the WME2022 in Veldhoven.

Robert Podkoński
Łukasz, actually I glued this windows in its place before attaching the wing assembly - perhaps in effect in my model wing is too far to front... And I faced the same problem with removing the transparencies from sprue 🙁

Łukasz Gliński
Thx, I need to trim it then 🙁

Robert Podkoński
If I may suggest something - try to trim the opening in the wing first.

Łukasz Gliński
Too late, another transparency was too close, so I trimmed this one.

Łukasz Gliński
Trimmed the wingtips, sprayed the GX1 white and off for decals 🙂

Cuajete

Oliver Zwiener
Take a seat

Robert Podkoński
Good luck with decals, Łukasz! I did not face such a problem with wings...

Michael Kohl
Watching with interest as I just ordered the kit.

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks.
I have to say that while the sprues have geometry issues (wing was bent bit downwards and somehow horizontal stabs are not exactly parallel compared to the wings), the decals are simply outstanding (I know it's Cartograph product, but still).
Cut most of mine to get rid of transparent foil just in case, but they adhered more than perfectly! Great kudos to them 👍
They even have cut-outs for handles and other bumps here and there - Michael if you want to use the decals as designed, go ahead! Someone really took care to make them fit the kit (unlike my last Sword build 😛)

Dick
Wow, it looks great Lukasz😬👍🏻!

Gordon Sørensen
Great job on the decalling Lukasz!

Bernd Grün
Hey Lukasz, great job. Your bird looks very nice. Congrats, mate! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber

There are some corrections needed, mainly on the cowling.

Ben M
Very nice! I read the book 🙂

Andy Ball
Sehr gut, as they say in parts of Austria!

Cuajete
Great result with decals, Łukasz! 👌

Łukasz Gliński
Thx, wasn't it Australia?
I should have read it too 😉

Andy Ball
The signs in Austria inform the tourist that there are no kangaroos there 😉
In the wild at least.

Robert Podkoński
You're approaching the finish line in perfect style, Łukasz. Your model looks fantastic already!

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks Robert, almost there, hope there's not too much wash on her after all.

Łukasz Gliński
Finished, so it's the 11th accomplished build this year. Enjoy the pics, the ones from Serengeti in particular 😉
