Reini78 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 My dad´s newest upcoming project, an "exotic" kit from Mars Models. In western European online shops you can´t really find this kit, bought it in the Ukraine. Sprues look good, clear parts too. Here´s a preview from IPMS Germany http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Mars_Models/48003_Beriew_Be-4/Berijew_Be-4.html DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 The start is delayed because one sprue was missing in the box. Contacted UA Hobby in the Ukraine where I bought the kit. They requested the missing sprue from Mars Models and send it to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 The missing sprue is on the way, so my dad slowly starts this project. The kit comes with nice interior and a bunch of tiny parts to add.

hopkp Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 That's certainly an interesting-looking plane, which I'd never heard of before. The engine looks way too big for the rest of the airframe, almost like it belongs on something much bigger! The kit looks pretty good too.....

Reini78 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 The missing sprue arrived, great customer service by UA Hobby. Now the work can continue. DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 finally some paint for the interior, using Tamiya XF-12 JN Grey DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Good start! Interesting is the technological split of fuselage with cockpit details attached to the front half of hull. The moulds looks great, sharp and delicate detailed... Unfortunatelly not my scale, but the machine is very familiar to me. Last year I was improving my build of very old Polish RPM kit in 1/72 of this machine looking already on renders of Mars Model (it was on RFI), it could be nice of them if they will scale it down to 1/72. I am it will turn out brillant as always! Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Neat looking aircraft. Reminds me of a Grumman, especially with a built-under-licence Wright R-1820 Cyclone up on top! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 some PE seatbelts from the sparesbox DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr fuselage halves fit together well DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Some more body work. The seatbelts and their placement are assumptions, found no interior pic of the real deal.

Reini78 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Paint instructions go for A-32m which is a very dark grey. My dad used AMT-12 from AK Real Color which is almost too dark for AMT-12 but seems to be spot on for A-32m.
