Guy, Boots, cheers and welcome chaps  . This bird is not one for the faint hearted  , not moaning about fit issues, just ferckin little tiny PE parts . I have started, as you can guess and I'm still on the first two steps of the instructions. I just keep jumping around trying to get that what I can in place before priming and adding the cockpit colour. The plastic parts are also very small but not as fragile as a Mini-Art kit are, which is good. Anyway here's the first pics for yaz, the PE harness may need a little touch up, we'll see after it's had a dark wash or if the wash will suffice . The first 17 parts.  The next 8 parts  The PE harness. After seeing this close I have decided to strip it and re-paint  .  |

Paul, beautiful interior work there. These Spanish Civil War birds have great camo schemes so I will definitely be looking forward to this one.
Regards,
Ian

Chaps, whilst other things are drying orfe , I thought I would revive this one . I did some more work on the cockpit interior, which includes some very fiddly PE and little plastic bits  . I reckon that I can get some primer on the interior tomorrow morning and maybe a tad colour in the afternoon  .    |

I hate fiddly pe as it comes off when you just look at it. I prefer plastic. It looks good Paul. |
