Recommended Posts

planning to do the colourful Vichy version

no decals provided for the red and yellow stripes, so a lot of masking fun ahead...

started with the cockpit floor, kit includes lots of (tiny) parts like the pedals..

my dad already wondered why there was a "void" between engine and cooler...the missing part isn´t mentioned in the instructions but luckily included in the kit

Very nicely done, inside and out! The whacking great spinner will hide most of your engine detail unfortunately - the 1/72 Heller kit didn't even bother with engine detail for that reason.

 

Looking forward to the decals.

 

Regards,

Adrian
