The interior is finished, don´t payed to much attention to details which are not visible at the end. Started glueing the fuselage halfes together, needs some effort but could been worse.

Got some progress with the U-125. The fuselage and the wings are joined, they needed some more attention then the fuselage halves.

I used to have one of these, but I traded it. Nice to see one being completed. I'll be watching for sure.

Daniel, nice work, love the added detail.
A question, do you think that it would be feasible to remove the belly radar and convert the kit to a regular Biz-jet version? I see this is as the only difficult bit, as the windows are no issue.

That's a good question Graham, I also wonder whether Sword is going to issue any other versions...

@Graham @Lukaz I would be possible, but there will be a big gap to fill. A bit of work would then be necessary to get the right shape of this section. Maybe Sword brings a new fuselage, without radar, stiffener plates, correct windows,...

Lookng at the sprue pics, it seems the rear half of the bottom radar fairing is molded into the bottom of the wing, so would need a new mold for that too... but everything else should be OK!

@Lukasz @Daniel @Gordon, thanks for the responses. The pictures are most helpful and it looks like quite a bit of a job, but worth it. My brother in law worked on this version of the 125 for Beechcraft in Wichita and would love to make a model of it for him. He gave me a manufacturers model of the Hawker 1000, so worth the effort to convert this one for him. I love the looks of this plane.

After nearly a month since my last update the paint and decals are done.

Looks awesome in the ocean camo. Btw. Are the decals for '027' supplied in the box?

Thanks guys 👍
@Łukasz Unfortunately there are only decals for one grey and one blue(028) aircraft in the box, no spare to create other regs. I used some numbers from a Hasegawa T-2 Blue Impulse kit which thankfully @Harry Eder gave to me.

Thanks for the info guys. Does it mean this ocean camo is a whif?

No whif, 027 and 028 are painted in two different versions of the Oceanic-Camo.

Looking great, What paint did you use for the two blues? I like to see a civil version released too! Either a Hawker 800 or the 1000 version go well with all the Amodel Biz Jets.

@Glenn In picture No.23 you can see the color set from Mr.Color I used. It´s special for the Japanese Oceanic Camoflage and will fit perfect for a F-2 or Phantom but didn´t match the light blue of the U-125 at all. So I sprayed a layer of Tamiya Clear Blue on it to get a better result.

I reached the finish line last week, the U-125A is done. Last things to do were some antennas, the landing gear, the wipers and the FOD-covers.

Thank you guys. I´m glad I allready finished the jet. I like the result although I am not completely satisfied with the build.
