Welcome to the club Pierre Henry, 🙂 👍 And I am sure you will enjoy all that happens here. 🙂
There are many, many, wonderful and most helpful people here that will have all the encouragement and help you could wish for.
As they look in on your build, they will have something to say. 🙂
This looks like a large kit and I am wondering who makes it. ?
Cheers. 👍

It's a Trumpeter kit 1/32.
What do you think about it for the moment?

I have just done some visuals on Google 'images' on the kit, as I have built the Tamiya 1/48 kit, and know nothing about this Trumpeter kit at all, except from what I have just seen.

Do you plan to add all the brass and stow the wings in the folded position. ?
From what I am seeing here, it looks to be a most challenging build and I will not really be able to say much until I see what else your going to do with it, but it looks like a heap of fun for sure. 🙂 👍

I think I will do one wing folded and the other open. I didn't bought the BIGEd kit that go with it. So I think I will do some other stuff from scratch like the little thinggy arround the yoke. Even me I don't know where I am going with it and what kind of home made improvment I'll do. I am going to work on seat belt.

Take a look at Christians work and you will see has done a lot of scratch building with his kit builds, and he is one of the best modellers I have seen, and most inspirational. 🙂
