To have a partner for the Hs126, decided to do a Hs123 in early splinter camo too.

regarding quality and detail, this kit is a quantum leap to the old ESCI kit, but therefore it also has a lot of small and sometimes very tiny extra parts like the levers in the cockpit

Looking forward to this new one, Reinhard @grimreaper. I have heard that Gaspatch models are very detailed, but I don't think I have ever seen one built.

only slow progress due to lots of detail painting and my dad´s old eyes need some rest in-between

there are single decals for all the single instruments of the IB

Detail painting looks wonderful, Reinhard @grimreaper
Your dad is doing a much better job with his old eyes than I'm able to.

That cockpit looks fine already, Reinhard @grimreaper

The interior looks great, Reinhard @grimreaper

Interior does look nice, Reinhard (@grimreaper). It looks like the real thing was really cramped.
