The profi pack comes with some photo etch and these parts look great. The back of the seat is painted black and drybrushed with multiple brown colours to get the worn leather effect.

I used a light grey drybrush on the black parts of the cockpit. I also added some chipping with a aluminium colour. A aluminium drybrush is added to the radiator parts.

Doesn't look bad at all and it was also not even as hard as I expected.

Adding all the profipack detail was not as bad as i thought and Hope some of it will still be visible in the end. Atleast I got some decent pictures of the finished cockpit.

The fit on most parts is good. I did need some filler on the chin of the radiator intake. The cockpit is unfortunately very hard to see even before the canopy is added. Luckely I got the photos.

I added a clear plastic sheet to the gun sight and places the wintshield inplace. I also painted the exhaust and prop parts. The baldes are weathered and finished. The nose cone piece will be weathered later.

Very happy with the result. I needed to correct some mistakes but everything looked fine when I added the fuselage band and yellow on the wings. I Hope the preshading get toned down with some weathering.

The kit mask are great but I did snap the canopy glass near the front side unfortunately. But it's not to easy to see luckily.

The final piece is added! Very happy with the result. I did make some mistakes with the broken canopy en PE parts. The kit itself is great but not for beginners.

Album info

I got gifted this kit and I wanted to wait because I needed to practise some skills before I could make this with any confidence.
This profi pack has most part included so I don't think any scratch build is needed.
