I will come back on aircraft kits after a loooong break (see previous entries),
So here goes the Roden 1/72 An-12 BK-PPS (modern version of a cold war bird...)
i'm not sure it belongs here or in the cold war forum

Anyway i started it this last weekend... step 1 wheels... i'll keep you posted

Here are the first shots...





Inner wheels and half the seats...

Hi John

keep it comming, even if nobody seems to be interested, there are a lot of people just lurking around and watching your progress!!.

I would like to say looks good so far, but that would be a bit early

cheers

Steffen

Thanks Steffen,

I'll keep posting them anyway !!

I am just worried since I've been doing mostly Armour...

Some news

All the wheels were painted, start working on the engines and cleaning the big parts..

Some more pics



Still working on the engines and landing gear...

Looks like a good start.

Looking forward to see more as this project progress

The engines are build, the wheels are painted.
This weekend I will post some updated shots.

I might start the interior (cockpit and cargo bay), i guess with such a huge build (parts / plane)
I might be useful to do several little builds (assembly and painting) for the middle section, front section, wings, engine, tail.

I don't know if there is a perfect way of doing it...

Some new shots:





Still working on the engines, and have to finish the interior, cockpit assembly and interior windows.
