I think these are my favorite kind of projects - simple kits that take some creativity to bring to life! This is looking fantastic - my favorite pic is the one of all the "stuff" from the spare parts box - lots of my projects should probably contain a similar pic! Love the Japanese float planes - living on an island they seemed to come up with a plethora of designs!

Seats are fabricated.
I glued an 1/32 Trumpy MIG-17 instrument panel at the Navigators "deck", which was supposed to be a console. Well, the MIG panel is gargantuan for a panel, but looks very console-ish.

You can see the order which the above items (plus the navigator - gunner interframe) are going to be fitted in the cockpit.
The gunner seat is going to be installed at a scratchbuilt frame, as per the Val looks.
Cheers!

You're really moving along with this one, great scratch building ! What little I've done I've some times used old credit cards for sheet plastic.

Great bunch of scratchbuilt items my friend! I suppose the PFP QC will let it pass without remarks @fiveten.

The start of the (definitely) many putting sessions:

Green stuff is sadly discontinued, replaced by the "grey" stuff.
For sure I prefer the green color, as it can show clearly if it has or has not gone into that nasty small nook.
At least I hope the chemical formula has remained the same...

Spiros,

keep up this good work,lookin forward to the next steps!

Spiros,
All of these scratch built items look wonderful, even more so with paint on them. I'm happy to see they have passed the quality control checks. You definitely have been very busy, as has your QC team... Now it looks like you will be busy sanding for a little while. I too am looking forward to your next installment. Once you get the green stuff satisfactory with sanding, your next step will be painting... and that along with placing decals on a model is one of my favorite parts of building. Sanding down putty still remains my least favorite.

Your "Jake" is looking good !
