The Construction

And the propeller. I'm entirely satisfied with it.
2
March 29, 2015
I am not 100% satisfied with resin gun barells, however I didn't manage to make metal replacements...

Cowling side. Assembly with the engine is absolutely terrible.
4
March 29, 2015
The engine is missing the second row of cylinders, however it won't be much visible.

March 29, 2015
The underside with lines washed. Still minor tweaking to do.
6
March 29, 2015
It all depends on lightning - in daylight roundels are indeed, greyish.
7
March 29, 2015
Panel lines washed. It all more or less starts to resemble an aircraft...

The cowling with a bolt applied. I did the latches and shell ejectors from spare PE as I didn'tfeel like scribing such small rectangles again... And wheel covers.

Decals are good as usual, but the colour choice for the roundel is controversial... I think it should be darker. Despite what you can see it's NOT white actually.

I added the overpainted band near the tail. Surprisingly - it went smoothly the first time I tried 🙂

February 22, 2015
Myrsky ready for taking decals.
12
February 13, 2015
The underside is basically RLM65 and again I think that VJ rendition is a little too blue. Though I quite like it 😉

February 13, 2015
Pattern borders need of course touching up.
14
February 22, 2015
I managed to apply lower swastikas before taking the pictures.
15
February 13, 2015
The standard three tone Finnish camo applied. Thugh as per FS suggestions I find the Model Air colour quite juicy.
16
October 1, 2014
Main body glued, filled & sanded.
17
October 1, 2014
Underside also was filled a bit here and there.

Typically - wing roots required some attention.

Left instrument panel moe visible.

A look inside - no seat, instrument panel & some small bits.
22
October 1, 2014
It's not ben retouched yet.
23
September 1, 2014
It's quite tight there and not much will be visible even with an opened canopy.
24

And the starboard of the plane. Seat wil be attached later.

Port side of the cockpit.
27
February 13, 2019
This is the actual kit's interior - cleaner and nicer than the previous one.
28
February 13, 2019
Port side again - also with better colours.
29
February 13, 2019
And the seat.
30
February 13, 2019
After returning to this one, firstly I applied the colours that you can see earlier, only to strip it all down and use way better, dedicated Lifecolor set.
31
February 13, 2019
Underside washed.
32
February 13, 2019
After 3 evening with the horror of fitting the engine and the cowling to the fuselage - only minor things to wrap it up!

Detailing to the extreme on the propeller! The rest is marvelous as well. Love it mate!

Thanks a lot for the feedback 🙂 Still some work left to be done, but it's going steadily towards the finish 🙂 (Though I HATE the engine + cowling + MG's assembly is badly thought out... Aligning it all is a nightmare.)
