Hello coleagues,
let me present a short summer build this year. Well it should be short as the kit contains a few easy parts. But despite not many sources for Ida available, I realised the kit is too easy.
The low detailed cockpit I leaved as it is OOB. I made a light in the wing from scratch. I reworked cowling with a gap on the sides as the circle shape follows with non-circled shape of the fuselage. (I think it is correct). I added some exhaust tubes on the cowling bottom and the bracket in front of shield. At the end I made a bit complicated pitot tube from scratch. On the finished kit I corrected the position lights into the right shape.
Unfortunatelly I didn´t manage the part with the canopy. The canopy fitting is poor and the frames are not smooth. For the other builds which I plan, I have to take care to this point.
The colour is a mix of yellow-red tamiya acrylics according to my interpretation of some sources about japanese trainer yellow.
