Good start Alexis (except for breaking the seat support...!), - looks as though this one is going to come together quickly.

Thanks Gary , I don't recall what I did with the pin . I think I ended up giving it to my brother , He collects pins .

Well Kevin , hope I can keep up with my standards then

Marc , thanks for the approval

Last one I built was a quick build and I have a feeling this will be as well . Already repair the seat support .

Hi Stephen , yup a nice quick easy build ...fingers crossed

I started with the painting of the dope linen and the cockpit parts which need black . Black basing for the engine is done as well . This is drying as of right now . Pic's will follow once the pit is finished .

Here is where I'm at this moment with the build . All the cockpit parts have their base coat on the the wood effect is done using pencil crayons , only a top coat of clear yellow was used for paint . With a sealing coat of future with a bit of brown paint was used as a wash and wipe away off the fabric areas with a brush . Engine has it's base coat , set for further weathering .

Whose clear yellow do you use? I've used both GSI and Tamiya. Both come out too YELLOW. Yours has a nice tone. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong....

Such a great start, Alexis! I get flashbacks to my build, but yours is better! You are right about the black framework... ATB, Marc.

Thanks guys for the positive comments

Phil , I used Tamiya clear yellow . What helped with the tones is the base shade and the effect of the pencil crayons . For the base I used Tamiya deck tan followed by four different shades of the crayons and used a blending stick over top . I sealed this with two thin coats of Tamiya clear you . 50/50 with their lacquer thinner .

Halves are joined together and there was some fit issues but nothing major . I did end up losing one of the filling caps , but I used have spare PE for this . The lower stitching part was wrapped and didn't sit flush . I used it anyway , sanded it , filled it , sanded some more and will replace this with spare PE from the parts bin . Engine is ready for assembly once the paint has fully dried .
