Hello guys.
This is my first more complex build.
Im really looking forward to it and hope you will follow me as i make progress.
This is going to be a long term project,i gave myself exactly till 27th of May (My B-day).
So it wont be OOB,i am going to use:

Eduard: Undercarriage,Bomb bay,Exterior Photo etched sets and paint masks.

Kinetic model: Interior PE

FCM model S-2 Tracker part 2.

Unfortunately my camera is broke and this is the only picture i can show you now




Anyways,im starting it soon,and ill take some pictures when i can.

I would like to thank Fred (JPTRR) and Kinetic models for suppling me with the model and the kinetic interior set.

Kind regards,Sven.

I'll be watching this one really closely. It will surely be a pleasure to build
I also noticed that you are only one year and a half, younger than me!
Good luck with your build, Sven


Cheers Nick

Thanks!

Now,back to the model. I have the main parts in warm water and cleaned them with a toothbrush.After that i fitted the main fuselage parts together,not perfect but good.I think a small amount of my favorite filler will be needed.On the lover pictures you can see the problem,molding pins for positioning main fuselage has sucked some plastic and made sink marks from the outer side,not so hard to eliminate but it's annoying.














Kind regards,Sven.

The Cockpit is mostly done.Instrument panel was scratchbuilt.I added some detail on the wall between cargo bay and cockpit.Chipping was done with hairspray tehnique.









Kind regards,Sven.
