Hi,
You can read on page 1 of the instruction sheet:
“It is well evident that you have not between hands a model of at ‘ACCUTAMYGAWA’, out investments, technologies, and structures are not comparable so for tools that boxes them, instruction notices, etc… With regard to our prices, they are in the decent proportion of our investments and our quantities of sale. On the other hand, we probably will be the only one for quite and while offering a model kit of this plane.”
It's true....
you can read previews here:
Hi Tech 1/48 AEG IV
As usual I begin with the cockpit where everything or almost is to make.
The walls of the cockpit (all the wall) are sanded to make them smooth. The roof is made finer and the leather bourrelets are taken away.
The floor will be glued at the same level as the second line of structure (engraved outside the airframe). Small pieces of plastic are glued together to support floor.
The wall behind the seat of the pilot was emptied. It is easier to set it up.
The seat of the pilot is put down on the reservoir but shows of the cockpit. It must not.
I cut a little the reservoir.
The sides of the seat are little high (I believe...). I took away the bottom, taken away 1mm in the seat and glued together a new bottom.
Now it's Ok:

Inside, wall between the pilot and the rear gunner must be made. I'm using tools to copy forms (from Do-it-yourself shops)
Small piece of plastic are glued behind the openig and brass thread is glued on them:

Don't worry Louis when you get yours finished it will look better than mine I'm sure! I used strut stock and re-made all of the struts as well.
