Well folks I've made a start, sort of. Looking at the instruction sheet and then at the bits on the sprue and the resin and PE bits that came with the kit, it soon became evident that the instructions are wholly geared to the use of the resin and PE and neglect to tell one where all the little extra bits are supposed to go. Much of the models external detail will have to be worked out from photo references of which there seems to be very little off that show such detail.
Anyway I've started cleaning up some of the resin bits that for the engine and cockpit.
As I'd already been warned, fitment of the rear cockpit wall behind the seat was a bit crude, but this can be overcome by one of the resin parts that not only form the back wall but also the cockpit bottom.
The side walls though showing some detail are a bit sparse but lucky me, I've a couple of extra resin bits to chose from. I'm thinking of using the yellow resin which is well detailed, though the pic is not showing it. The darker resin walls are well detailed but seem to be out of preparation.
I'm actually going to start with the engine in the resin detail. In theory if using the resin, the engine cowls should be left off as the kit states this is to an accurate scale but will not fit within the cowls unless the cowl walls are thinned and parts of the engine cylinder heads are shaved. Regardless of this, I'm going to use the resin engine and make it fit as the parts you will se are in much better detail than the sprue parts. By the way, on the sprue I have three rotary engines in which to choose from and all look the same.
