    Hello my friends. I started new project. I’m sorry for my busy time now, and for my late responds. Kit has quite a lot extras in the box like resin and PE parts. At first i build Resin props, engines and paint wheels. Unfortunetly I have accident and my desk lamp hit freshly build and primed props, and I need to start reglue blades. Damn!

    That is going to be another great project, Bernard @lis
    Pity about the bad start of the propellers, glad you were able to repair them.

    Another great choice, Bernard (@lis). I am also finding new, creative ways to damage something I am building. It is good that the damage was slight.

    Bernard @lis, accidents are built into the process however, unwanted. One of my super powers is to drop things. I have been working at a glacial build on a p-51. I have managed to drop it three times. Good news I have caught it three times before it hit the ground. Proof, that miracles happen. Stuff happens. Your build is coming along nicely with that clear nose and it four pieces. Mpm kits are not shake and bake kits. However, you and your "Wing Cat " can pull it off.

    Interior looks great, Bernard (@lis). Tom Cleaver (@tcinla) has a build review on this kit, so you might take a look and see if he had any problems you might want to know about. Here is the link:

    I remember this kit from many years ago - it was really enjoyable. A challenge but great fun.
