Hello guys Not one but four(4) I.A.R.-80, all of them code number 42. Started as always with the cockpit. More to come

Now this is my kind of building... I like it ! Excellent choice of subject too.
I'll be looking forward to seeing your next update.
Interesting subject, Bogdan. I always think it looks like the bastard child of an FW Dora and a Corsair, but it predates both.
I’ll be keeping an eye on this project, for sure.
As will I... 🙂
Going forward A nice coat of light blue(RLM76) on the cockpit and side walls

You're not wasting any time ! It looks great too... looks like the fit is nice too. Great to know, since I have one of these in the stash. If you run into problems can you post them as a guide for us to use for future builds ?
Are the seat belts included with the kit, or did you have to purchase them separately ?
Looking forward to your next installment... Thanks
The seat belts are non painted PE's included with the kit. There are some mistakes that HobbyBoss did, but nothing to worry :
Three of them closed

Thanks for answering the questions I had, and for posting the progress photos... Looks good ! At this rate, you will be painting them soon... 🙂

Two of them are ready Small gaps underside, but nothing to worry
Instrument panels and gunsights are on, next move: windshields.
I like what I'm seeing ! How do you like building planes in this "Iron Werks" fashion ? I have found that it takes less time for me and I can get more done.
Looks great my friend.
Let see Canopies on Landing gears on
