What's in the box? Not a lot, a single sprue and some resin.

Hasn't come out in the photo, but also includes two vacuform canopies. (no spares!).

Also the propeller blades resemble a swiss cheese.

Progress to date, started painting the cockpit.

The major construction is compete. Time for some paint.

Had a bit of a knightmare masking the canopies and getting them to fit. The canopies where very thin, was scared of puncturing them when trying to trim the masking tape.

  • 2 weeks later...

After a couple of weeks away from the modelling bench, I finally got around to starting to applying some paint.

This model will see a couple of firsts for me, the use of alclad and the attempt to reproduce natural wood finish for the propeller blades.

Someone does a 48th kit pancake i'm sure?

Yes. Sword do, or did it. I made it a few years back and had a ball with it.

Finished. It fought me the end, have already broken a couple of blades off.

I have enjoyed my first group build, actually got something finished.
