make sure you add lead either inside or below, otherwise the tail boom will pull the fuselage down and the model ends nose-up

The missing "Inlet Barrier Filter" was added. Too bad they spitted the mesh of the filter, since the upper part does not really fit the lower one to a hundred percent. Also the gaps were sanded and filled here

This side was a real mess.. lots of filling and sanding to refit the front window.

Gentlemen, thanks for the thumbs up! 🙂 Unfortunately it will take a bit longer, since I won't be back at the work bench until December.. My job keeps me abroad most of the time.. I guess we're all familiar with that problem^^ 😄

A well known Problem for most of us.😢 The decals Looks great! Always nice to personalize a model, like you did here!

Thanks! Still, there is a lot more work to do.. The decals were created by me with Adobe Illustrator and printed at "Druckeronkel" in Germany. I used the UV print for the first time, and I immediately fell in love with the sharpness of the print. Maybe for 1/72 it's not suitable, since it's a positive print, but for 1/32 it definitely is.

those 3D show skids look really good. i think the days of injected plastic are counted... eventually all models will be 3D printed..... no problems with aged molds etc....

Well, these little, 3D printed eye catchers cost about the same as the whole kit. So if you want that model being printed in this scale, you'll end up spending min. 500 Euro my friend^^😉

well, i am sure that 3D printing will get a lot cheaper with time 😄
it reminds me to the times when getting a CD burner costed a fortune😉
