I wanted to try something in 1/48 scale, so I've found this kit from Tamiya. This is an old one from 70th, it has raised panel lines at some areas, but fit and detail level is quite good. I've chosen Netherlands AF painting scheme, 1942 year.

I've started from re-scribing panel lines. Then I was used to pre-paint wheel bays, because after wing assembly it would be hard to get there. Also I've cut out all control surfaces (glued sprue will be sanded).

It's time for updates. I've sanded elevators, made grooves for brackets and glued brackets (it will be brackets after some sanding). Also I've searched for photos where ailerons will be visible from the bottom, because there is no grooves on them on my drawings. I didn't find any photo where this grooves are visible, so I've decided to remove them with plastic rods.

Wing parts were glued together. Position lights should be also improved, so I've glued sprue there for the start.

Great idea for the control surfaces! I may try this with my PB4Y-2.

Great rescribing work Dmitry.

Great work on enhancing this old kit Dmitry.

A small update – scratch built floor detail. Now I need to add some wires and pipelines into cockpit.

It should be a window on the bottom. It's one of the main characteristics of this aircraft. And also it seems that I'll do another painting scheme (USA).

Thanks Greg!

Returning to this build. I've finished adding wires and tubes to the cockpit, so now it's ready for painting. Also I've scribed some additional elements on wings (according to drawings) and corrected panel lines – you can compare this photo with a previous one in this thread. And I'm thinking about rivets, because it's 48 scale and it would be a great addition to a model look.
