CuajeteGood job so far. Very nice hand-made ladder 👍
Building this kit must be a delight compared to this other one hellish plastic jumble I'm doing:

Harald BesoldHello Falk,
you started a great project. The photo-etched parts in the cockpit look very good. Beautiful details in the landing gear bays and the lowered flaps make a good impression. The ladder with the canopy is the icing on the cake. I'm very excited to see how it will look when it's finished - so far very, very good!

NeilHi Falk, this looks fantastic so far. Brilliant work!
I too have built the more unusual and interesting 'U2 Sabre' scheme, though with a significantly simpler vintage kit, mine is finished but I haven't added any final reveal imagery yet...

Falk RölligThank you mates. Awesome result Neil. Any paint hints? The instructions called for Gunze H338 and H306. The photos showed it a bit more yellow or a bit more greyish depending on lightning.
