Humm... Good question like our former Prime Minister said.

First of all, the main purpose of the thread is to show that we shouldn't be limited in our ideas to these "nice made" kits of very good quality.There are modellers who can't afford these quite expensive kits.What is more there is difference between assembling and building of a model I think.Moreover I like the kind of challange, my workmate says this is always "from no form to a shape" process and I agree with him fully.The kind of model building is a very good training of our abilities and using of different techinques.This can improve our skils.
The second reason I've decided to use the kit is that I found three of them in my stash.I hate wasting plastic.

THX for all.

I know this was in the beginning of the thread...... and if all of you look at my profile comments Wojtek said he stopped counting in his stash at 50..... this makes me unbelievably jealous..... hmph!

Thank you guys...

Today not much done to the model. But I started correcting of flaps.Flaps show their inner structure when opened. I've decided to make something similar to that structure.

The first step was to make these parts that were cut off earlier, a little bit thinner and flat on inner surfaces.
I used a scalpel blade for scrapping and sandpaper for finishing.

Then I used a plastic sheet for making the inner structure.

1. I copied the scale drawings of it and print on adhesive transparent foil.Then I cut it off and sticked to the plastic sheet.Using a needle I marked points where I had to drill a few holes.
2. With my hand drill and two thin drill bits I made these.
3. Using a scalpel I cut out unwanted areas.

The expression "A silk purse from a sow's ear" springs to mind. Beautiful.

Thank you Paul.

Then I used files for making shapes of these holes.Then I cut down whole part and sanded in order to get the piece much thinner.Finaly I got something like the one in the last pic.

That's true. Of course it would be easier to use these photoetched parts and other aftermarket rasin parts. But instead that I can buy some T-stoff for the money.

This is a scalpel cutting edge. These are offered of a few different shapes and are very useful for modelling.
