Some really nice scratch-building there - great stuff !

Thanks. A few details and the radio still need to be worked out.

Good work so far!

Wow, that's some serious scratchbuilding. For me, this is the essence of model building. Can't wait to see the end result. Keep up the good work!

My son came for Christmas and he helped me with the glazing of the cabin.
The thickness of the glass suited a deepwater bathyscaphe more than an airplane

Enough for today. Convex lines on the wings canceled. The lights are done.

Now this is some impressive work! Never would have thought of using fiberglass and splitting the fuselage lengthwise. I have two of these kits, I'll be paying close attention for how to tackle mine someday. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the appreciation. Very brittle plastic. You have to be very careful when machining.

Great work so far Roman. Wayne Little might be able to help with the cockpit colour.

Fantastic work on this Kit, cannot understand why Hasegawa have not done a new 1/48 Jake..???

Interior I would suggest in simple terms is a dark Olive green colour

Interior painted with Mr. COLOR 126

At one time there was a resin set to improve this kit. I have one myself Nichimo kit] and thought about using a Kate interior for the project. Even if someone did issue a new kit, I wouldn't be able to afford it. I like the progress that you've made on yours and look forward to the finished kit.
