Alexander GrivonevYeah, the old Amodel kits were the horror ^^ Great effort of a very obscure soviet early post war project with a liquid propellant rocket engine.
Oh and thanks for reminding me to work on my vacuforming skills, a technique i am eager to master but all efforts failed so far :/

Julian Herrero aka YuriThank you mates ,,, indeed it took quite a lot of hours filling and sanding and elbow grease ,,, 😉 . But this is the only plastic injection kit of this very plane that's easy to get.....
