ICM 1/32 Bu-131 Jungmann

Well - day one?

[s00ntir]

I went pretty fast with the cockpit. ICM is really modeller-friendly producer. I've used Eduard PE fret for instrument panels and seatbelts.

And so it goes...

At the end of day one - fuselage and wings went together. Front section is a little bit overengineered. I'd made few mistakes (in a hurry...) - so some extra work with super glue and sanding stick was needed. But generally fit is really good.

Oh - by the way - it will be Italian No guns, no bombs - just tiny little bird

It's hard to believe they're both 1/32 scale

The G.55 was a big plane. Look forward to this build.

looks awesome so far! I knew someone who flew it as a young lad in post-WWII years, and praised it for its aerobatic performance.

Beautiful work, as always. Really enjoy watching the progress. Want to come to my house and show me how you do it????

[s00ntir]

Sure I will!

It's almost sad that this little nice engine will be covered. But I don't build "opened" planes - I like them as they are.

And this will be all for today. At last it starts looking like a plane. Front section gave me really hard time - delicate, fiddly, flexile... End of day two.
