This looks great Martin! How are you finding the kit? I just ordered a set of US Army decals from Draw Decal, but the US Coast Guard scheme was a close second choice.

Thanks Mike! The kit is not easy, not to be compared with Tamiya. 😉 You have to do a lot of sanding, especially on the interior, it's cast too wide, it does not fit into the outer shells. How the wings fit on the fuselage, I can only say later.
Besides the CoastGuard I might build another Swedish plane, attractive in orange.

I've seen the orange scheme - pretty interesting! Good luck with the rest of the build!

Thanks guys!
In the meantime, I have to say that this is not a fun kit. 🤔 It is hard work. Lots of stuff that doesn't fit, where I have to sand and fill.

I've recently gave a friend of mine the one I got. With some decals to do a comercial airliner in Alaska. Beautiful plane

missed this completely - that's some seriously misfitting parts!
Looks like you managed them well - can't wait for the finished result

Yikes, the fit looks terrible on your kit. Hope mine is better. You're doing a great job despite all these issues!
