Outstanding!

Perdro: I have to say the few Ammo products I've purchased, I have not particularly liked. I just picked up a jar of Mr. PRIMER Surfacer 1000 by Mr. Hobby for a test spray. This is a new item to me as I have always used the regular Mr. Surfacer. This stuff looks slightly different. Ever tried this?

Best of luck on those flaps! The ammo tubes look great.

Nothing like a nice trip down memory lane 🙂

As our friend Spiros @fiveten remarked they look nice at a distance those cottageindustry resin parts. Thanks for taking the time to share this one - I would like to build one myself, but time. . . . I shall enjoy your build instead Pedro @holzhamer.

Small installment, but I guess some areas are so fiddle that no sense in rush if I want to get things right.

Main canopy painted and the A-stand turret is almost completed, here put in place just for photo purpose because it will be one of the last things to be added in the build

After careful look of the pic if thebplane I want to depict, it became apparent that it had ballon cutters on the frontal glass house, so I added some thin plastic strips

The engine nancelles are completed and await to be placed in its place. The propellers are a mix of everything I had- the nose is from the kit, backplate and fan from stash surplus and the blades from Cutting Edge resin set.

I guess I got the best of all 3 worlds

@airbum Erik, you are quite right in your statement. Nowadays it seems every resin set we see in reviews or else are faultless, no air bubbles or short stop pieces. I praise the quality of some even though their prices are sometimes as high as the kit they are meant to be used in.

The Cutting Edge set is quite good despite its age, unlike those flaps (which I believe are a lot newer than the CE set) that are a pain to prep. Still I have them completed, just need to weather them before posting some pics. Thanks for the feedback

All the comments about resins ring true. There was a time, however, when Cutting Edge really was. Now outfits like Barracudacast etc are state of the art. You mentioned high prices sometimes exceeding the kit price -that’s why I boycott Aires products.

By the way, I’m really sold on Mr.Surfacer Primer 1000.

Your 217 is progressing excellently.
