Here is the beginning of another nonWW1 project, a captured German trainer Bü131B which served in Poznań Aeroclub just after WW2.
At least it is a biplane!

Cockpit with some added Eduard PE closed.

Looks nice, those Bueckers are pretty little aeroplanes, too :)

Nice clean looking work, Pzremol.  I found this kit to be a nice build, but the interior framing was very fragile as was the landing gear.

My Dutch training version




I'm sure this will turn out stellar in your hands!

Thank you.

Lovely model, Kensar! BTW, I had no problems with the internal frame, let's hope the u/c will also be without problems...

Well I am relieved that this one will have a spare wing!

A super start on what will certainly be another masterpiece from your bench.

Stephen.

Wonderful precision as ever Prez, I like these unusual aircraft you have been modelling recently.

Thank you for your welcome to this non WW1 topic. I promise, that the next one will finally be from the proper era.
And in the meantime some preps for the engine compartment and the cockpits doors.

Excellent work Przemo! Is that hinge actually functional?

Thanks, Rick.
The piano hinge from PE is bendable but surely after a couple of moves it would break. So no, it is not movable really  ;) I am planning to leave the left cover open up to show one side of the engine.

Looking great so far, Prez -

No doubt this will be another one of your stunners when complete!

Thanks!

Some small progress, the doors got the fittings and the bottom wing-fuselage joint was treated, the front line will remain, the rear joint had to be filled and sanded smooth.
