Starting a very rare bird. (I am getting bored with the other 9 builds I have still in progress).

Nice project Skyhiker ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ you build alot of Soviet stuff, don't see to many of these... nice choice ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

The riveting looks good.

Skyhiker Author
Thanks Dave. It took me a while to get the riveting done. Hopefully after priming I won't have to do it again.

Thomas Kolb
Very straight riveting. What a difference it makes!

Fixing the canopy issues.
 28 April, 18:49
Dave
That's a nice fix

Alternatively you could have coated the entire fuselage with putty, building it up to the required size.
 28 April, 19:57
Jennifer Franklin
Love the edging on the canopy.
 28 April, 22:58
Skyhiker Author
Ben, I may have actually done that if the plane were to be painted with a camo but since this will be bare metal finish I decided to avoid putty as much as possible. I'm not 100 convinced with my solution but it will do for now. If I hate it after painting I'll take it off and have a rethink.
 28 April, 23:38

You could carve a new fuselage out of a block of putty. ๐Ÿค”

The quality of the kit looks almost as good as Starfix. 😄
Excellent work so far.

The pilots look like blobs of hot glue. Maybe I should have formed the fuselage out of hot glue to match them.

Can anyone guess what the pipes on the side of the plane are? The kit has only the front section of the pipe and interpreted it as an exhaust, but it looks like a pipe to me.
 29 April, 10:43
Mr D
I would say it's a streamlined exhaust system??
The plastic looks a little waxy on this kit , lve had similar stuff on my 1:144 Tomcat.
Doing a ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Job.

It looks like the front half is not painted and has two steel brackets. The back half could be a continuation of the pipe painted or is it an indented surface with no pipe? The kit just has the front part. If it's a long pipe is it open in the back for exhaust?
 29 April, 22:12
Ben M
I think it's a schnorchel.
 30 April, 01:23
Mr D
Possibly Ben ? the Be-6 l recently built had a Schnorchel intake on the side looked like it was to supply air to the flight engineer.... probably was hot from the greenhouse effect of the large glass canopy.
