Eric JuvynsAfter seeing the first builds on different forums I couldn't resit and ordered me one. When it arrived it was even better than I had anticipated and I consequently cleared my desk and got started. The details are real good and the fit is overal good. Some areas need some attention, but nothing I can't handle. It certainly isn't Tamiya, but it's getting close.
I'm adding some details like levers and wiring. For me the cockpit is a kit in itself. Some more wiring to do ans then on to some paint.

Holger KranichHi Eric,
This pit really appears to be a kit in a kit. Marvellous details! I´m eager to see your progress on this fighter bomber!🙂

Thomas MayerAre there resin parts for the seat and the stick? Really nice and subtle shading so far!

Eric JuvynsThx you all.
Thomas, the seat and stick are indeed resin parts. You also get two different gun sights, the throttle quadrant and two sets of wheels. All beautiful resin parts.

Thomas MayerThank you, Eric!
Maybe I will wait for the radial engine kit, I like this one more than the inline version. But, this kit really has a Tamiya-price here... 🙁

Eric JuvynsThx mates.
Finished the cockpit and buttoned up the fuselage last night. Next up are the wheel bays. They are also very detailed and just in need of some extra piping.

Eric JuvynsIt's finished. Was a bit lazy taking and posting pics. So no in between pics of the rest of the painting stage. All markings are painted using home made masks with my Silhouette Cameo.
