Nice choice Al. I've got one of these somewhere!

Al, one thing I remember (or think I remember), is that you have to capture the engine inside the cowling, because it won't fit through from the back due to the shape, kind off an oval I think. I can't check because it got launched across the basement when the decals failed to cooperate.

Actually I have been making progress on this even though I broke my own rule for the build & got an AML detail set. I got a resin set of wheel boxes but after spending about 45 minutes carefully sawing off the pour blocks I realized the set had two wheel wells of the same side so I'm using the PE wheel boxes from the AML set.

It seems like every reference I've seen on the P36/H75 has a different opinion on cockpit & wheel house colors so I'm just going to do it the way I want.

Hope to have some update pictures soon.

Many thanks Bill. I'd seen info on this restoration but not this walk around. Really helps. I know he did his paintwork per Curtis's painting instructions but I still have some doubts. I am shooting the primary cockpit green & leaving the seat natural aluminum but I question the aluminum on the seat base & also the upper bar. Also question whether or not the electrical devices on the side walls were protected like his.

The under carriage group answers a question on inner door color & well color. I can see a slight difference between the strut & inner door color so I'm assuming the struts were painted gray.

The nice thing is these color combinations exist so I can't go wrong.

Thanks again.

I guess it's time to put the push on this one. I couldn't control my AMS & had to get some A/M pieces. It is primarily an AML set but I decided to use a Quickboost engine & Masters 30 mm wing guns. This is where I'm at now:

Bernd, I have AML SHEET #48003 for Czech pilots. It looks good at this point but haven't used AML decals before so don't know about usability yet.

Got to see this up close today, I think we're are all in for a treat when Al gets it finished.
