I am looking very much forward to get one myself, it is one of my favourite aircraft.
How do you else like the kit?

It is a really nice seat you have made, I am very impressed. It must have taken some time?

How did you make the cowl lip? It also looks very nice.

I am looking forward to see your progress with the kit.


Kind Regards

Hi Anders
The kit is just awesome. I been mailing Roden wishing for this one, so I can´t tell you how much Ive like it
The only concern I have is the decals, is they typical Roden hard and fight all the way down in the plastic?

The seat took app one hour to make,and this one is just an test to see if the plastic worked out the way I wanted. So there is second seat coming up.
The way I made it was to scale up the 48 scale etch from Parts and used it as an template.

I used etylacetat as glue for the plasticard strips.

Today´s work was on the interiorframe.Onece again the copied etch from Parts was used to get the right shape of the upper plastic peices.

As you can see Roden got the thottle on the wrong side off the frame, or have they?

The cowllip was made from plasticard with an compasscutter.
