Thank you for all your comments on my first article!
Honestly, I was more than surprised about all your reactions; can’t believe it. Thank you so much.
David has asked me what my next project would be. So, I chose this one for my second article: WIP!
From the pictures you see that I am currently working on Roden’s Cessna Bird Dog and have just finished its cockpit. Made some additional detailing because to me the cockpit appeared a little boring. Hope you like this one.
5 additional images. Click to enlarge.

I hope you’ll have better luck than I did when I attempted to assemble this kit. I found that the fit was terrible! Of course, that could’ve easily been my ineptitude. It looks as if you’re off to a terrific start, though. Keep us posted on your progress.

Dear Craig, I know what you mean. I am working different subassemblies of that kit and I have a lot of filling, filing, checking etc. behind and in front of me. The more I do this the more I develop the plan to build a kit where things are easyier (like with TAMIYA as they say; because of better engineering…)
But: I guess we all need some challenge, too (but not all the time…)

Wow, fantastic details. I love the paintjob and weathering you’ve allready put in the cockpit.
