Hello,

I got into aircrafts with a little extra cockpit after my TBM... At one of my LHS I stumbled upon this nice kit.



There's everything you need in this kit and it is my first British aircraft. I started several days at a slow pace. I waited for my riveting tool from UMM-USA to arrive and did the rivets. Easy handling IF you have good reference material. Got the 4+ and profile book for the fulmar, but it seems that the technical drawings are from a Fulmar Mk. I. So I took some artistic license to finish the riveting
I did the same painting steps as with the TBM. The colour is a mix and doesn't have to be the right one, but I like the tone.

Enough blabla...

This is just a little preview, more coming in the next days.



Comments like always welcome!

Regards,

A. W.

Cockpit is complete now. Fuselage halves are together.







Thanks for looking!

Very nice job. I am impressed with how clean the build is. Very nice crisp cockpit detailing. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks,

Hi hellvetier,

I agree with Matt, it looks very good so far. The interior painting is superb!

I've built the Fulmar a couple of years ago (see build log here and pictures of the finished model here). The plastic part of the MPM and Eduard kits are the same so you will probably encounter the same problems than I had.

I will follow your build with great interest...

Nice AW. I just love the two red dial frames in the rear compartment.

Looking forward to the rest.
