Finaly finished, had to change plans as the FUG antennas was not in the kit, only the genetic supports, and as i had no antennas in the stash, i chose to build the V-7 instar that is without Radar installed.

[PZL. 37A bis, Fly, 1/72 "TRASHED INTO THE BIN"]

I have given up on this kit, it looked very promissing when i looked into the box, but when i started i dicovered that it was an over enginered piece of S####.

 

So I have bin the kit, something i do very very seldom, i always try to make it work. But not this one.

The fit was rather good, only the nose glazing was in 2 pieces so you have to be very carefull when joining them.

Had to use drastic methods as the wing did not line up correctly, used a hacksaw. To make a cut in the wing.

[Flying Artillery part 1 - Hs 129]

You did OK with those old decals. 

 

Old yellowed decals can be white again if place the on a window face out, the the UV light from the sun will make them white again. Have used the technik works.

 

This time of year the only problem is the sun is not out so much. 😆😎

It is OK with some sidetracking, we get around the subject.

 

I have build these MPM kit long time ago and as i remember also not the best kit as they where early MPM, short run vacuform canopy, but still a more normal parts lay out.

I think you're doing a great job so far Jes and the kit is well worth persevering with in my opinion.  I had some of the same issues that you're having but with a bit of patience and time I think it builds up into a really nice little model and is probably one of my favourites in my cabinet.  If it's of any help or inspiration to you at all, here's a link to my rendition of the kit as a Soviet SB 2M-100A, which, if I'm not mistaken, is the same as the licence built Avia B-71.  Looking forward to seeing your progress as you go along
