Hello Daan,

I'm not sure how much of this model you want to scratch build.... but we are currently building 3 of those kits in parallel and we are half way through the process.
The most issues we had so far, we encountered with the main landing gear and engine frames. The plastic of the kits is so bridle that it is either already broken in the sprue or it breaks while cutting it out.
The landing gear is designed to be moveable, which is pointless and complicates the construction a lot.
I wish you a lot of fun with your build.

Cheers Robert

Hi Robert
Thnx for your message. Just started this kit and already noticed the brittle plastic. I'll keep that in mind when I get to the landing gear and engines. I'll probably leave one engine out, i'm sort of planning a diorama where this plane is being restored and one engine hanging in a crane build on a truck. But that can change....
Cheers
Daan
