gregax Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hello, Thought I'd start building something a bit more relaxing after the Flanker, so at the Moson show in Hungary I've bought this beautiful eduard's kit - with all the extras. I am planning to build it as opened as possible - engine, cockpit, radio, gunbays, misc. panels and so on. So, starting with the cutting, cleaning and thinning all the resin bits and pieces and dryfitting them over and over again. So, this is my Moson show loot, most of the parts here are for Spit. Too much of them really... So, brassin radio compartment with Aires cockpit test fitted... brassin parts just slot into the position, they fit the eduard kit perfectly. And Aires gunbays (just dryfitted, not glued yet) I think I will thin the plastic a bit more... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amblypygid Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 That Aires cockpit does look the business; all that resin and etch puts this into fantasy build territory for me, so I'll be watching avidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Slow but sure. That's an amazing amount of detail you've put in the fuselage. Resin cockpit sets are regarded as the easy option by some, but you still have to paint them and you've done a cracking job. Will you fill/sand the rivets on the leading edges?
