hi guies, here are the progress I made end of december. I put fuselage toggether and started to modify it in order to adapt it to PBN-1 nooze and bottom at the same time. It is a bit complicated and I am learning slowy. work on progress still

Pierre Pierre
Nose is a bit complicated I tried with milliput but I will fall out. so I decided to build a frame with expanded plastic sprue and reforce it a bit before filling it with styrene foam (not a good idea) and then putty (better idea)

Pierre Pierre
bottom fuselage need to be modifed so it is marker, saw, plasticard and putty 🙂

I moved to Kyiv since April, while I left this kit in Mali (not enough space in my luggage). I hope to have the kit shipped early 2023 here... so for now in standby
