    I started this model before the group started, so the hull is already closed. I have to say that even though it is a single wing, the construction is not very simple. moldings of very poor quality, a lot of sealing and sanding. Very poorly equipped cockpit, I had to make a completely new one, including the seat. I made the frame out of aluminum tubes and made the inside of the hull out of my supplies. Completed with Eduard instruments and belts. I made the pipes, control wires and braces from copper wire. The sash also requires a lot of caulking and sanding.

    When I have time, I will start making further adjustments, especially the details.

    You're a better modeler than I, Milan. I binned this kit. After spending a bunch on Aviattic decals for it.

    Good luck on yours!

    Thanks Tom for the compliment, but I think your experience is much greater than mine and your models are very inspiring to me.

    Thank you Spiros, the worst is over so far, so hopefully the result will be worth it.

    Nice work so far, Milan. I have this kit as well and while I would go as far as to say it's one of the more basic WW1 kits I've built, I do think it can be turned into a good kit. I'm sure you will get the best out of it; I especially like that colourful scheme you've chosen... ;-).

    This model has turned out well Milan, I was thinking of buying one of these kits, but after reading of the problems you had I may give it a miss.
