Sure, I'll start by masking the transparent parts anyway. That takes time... 🙂

Nice, preparing the resin parts with mine will take a lot of time too 🙂

Herewith I start the illustrated part of the building report: although this kit is highly praised and it should be one of the newer, better developments of Valom: unfortunately my experiences so far are not the best. Lacking accuracy of fit - especially critical with the many clear parts - and a very uncharitable mould casting make things difficult. The cockpit, which is easy to see, is so empty that I had to raid my spare parts box.
But the whole thing is also fun, above all the prospect of a really beautifully shaped, shiny model of a rare aircraft is comforting and motivating! 🙂
