Looking great David. Looks like adapting the resin took some work 😄 Nice progress 👍

David Andrs
Yeah the resin kit was made for the Revel kit. I was like "how much different could this be?". Quite a bit 🙂 But I am glad I figured out how to fit it to the Trumpeter kit.I was also surprised how much I enjoyed it. May be, because I have quite strong motivation with this...

I always wondered how resin parts go with kits other than the ones they were designed for (never tried it). I am glad to see you getting into resin, brass etc 👍 👍 👍. Personally, I enjoy the building phase of modeling the most.

David Andrs
For comparison I am building another Avia S-199 from the Revell kit 🙂 The resin parts fit much better. Not great, but better 🙂

I am into painting the most. But, I want to improve my building skills - mostly inspired by the work of some people here.
