  1. Here we go. Length 318 mm with 720 mm wingspan, 4 figures in the cockpit, two sets of landing gear (parked/flight) & display stand.

  2. After painting the various details on the fuselage, I completed the cockpit today. The detail level on the kit's parts is great and more than enough for a closed canopy build. I added some wire bits and the red labels on the seats from leftover decals. Seat belts and the straps on the parachutes were made from masking tape.

    The kit has the pilot's seat (left) properly shifted forward, but you need to add a 1 mm plastic sheet underneath to also get the height difference. The Hasegawa pilots fit perfectly, only a little surgery on the feet was necessary.

     

    I had to remove quite a bit of material around the coaming to make it fit into the fuselage and under the front canopy; I have no idea how this would work when the coaming is installed according to the instructions.

  3. Excellent finish and great care of details on your build. Academy could have done better with those very heavy panel lines, maybe it's best not to use any wash on them. I see no issues with the ordnance.

     

    I really like the design of the KF-21 and I'm looking forward to see you building the other versions.
