    Hi everyone!
    Here is the Hobby Boss "easy assembly" 1/72 M.S.406 that my sons picked from our petite local hobby shop yesterday afternoon, a simple but nice kit...

    ...which means it had to be assembled in the evening. This morning some initial filling was done, together with some modification, in order to attach the lowered down radiator in "retracted" position, which I aesthetically prefer... . I intend to finish it as a Finnish machine... More to come!

    A great entry, Spiros @fiveten
    What exactly is meant by 'easy', does it have less parts or is it spartanic.
    Still looks like to be an interesting kit though.
    The Finish scheme is a nice looking one.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! Easy in this case is a combination of lower number of parts and less detail, also it can be snap-fitted (but better be glued). Good point here is that the kit is not oversimplified, still looking acceptable once finished.

    Elevators separated for some extra "life"...

    Progressing nicely, Spiros @fiveten
    Lowered elevators will definitely live up the final result.

    I have built a couple of these easy to assemble kits, Spiros (@fiveten). and they actually come out looking very good. I am sure your sons will appreciate the completed model.
