Moving along:















Still some detailing & touch-up work to be done, plus highlighting & some light weathering.

The boxes are 1/35, so about twice the size they should be.

Great job on the interior. Were the cockpit panels from the kit or 3rd party? they look great. Same with the kit boxes.

No AM parts on the kit build, at all - just a bit of artistic licence on how I painted the panels, The dials are kit decals with a sufficient amount of MicroSol applied to get them to conform to the part.

The model company boxes are the only AM parts, so far, & they're from the ETA "Cardboard Boxes: Carton Boxes of Miniature Modelling Hobby Companies" (ETA-266)*.




[*: A good selection of companies (Tamiya, Revell, AK Interactive, Trumpeter, Master Box, Vallejo, Dragon, Italeri, Airfix, & Mr Black Publications plus those in the photo's, but only one box from each in a set.]

OW: Interior is looking great! And that cockpit is awesome ... once the eyes adjust to that Soviet-style blue-green colour   :smiley:

And, now, the interior is complete, all parts in & weathering done!

Just have to start putting it all together & filling her up with cargo (which I'm in the process of gathering together & painting).

















The doors to the rear fuselage are a bit (OK, a lot) dodgy, but they won't be that visible once she's closed up & the boarding door is fitted (open).

Thanks, but I can't say I agree, 'Mog.  ;D

But I did the best I could with washes that were fighting me all the way - the powders were better behaved but, still, not at their most compliant.  ;)

Especially the dark brown wash! Damn, but that one just wouldn't play nice!  ::)


Anyway, hopefully tomorrow I can get some white on the exterior of the fuselage before I put the windows in.  :icon_meditation:

The weathering looks great and really makes everything pop (especially the cockpit)

Totally agreed ... even if the washes did fight you. The floor weather is especially realistic.  :smiley:

Were RW Soviet (and inheritor) aircrews issued with hob-nailled boots or something? Photos of the floor of their cockpits sure make it look so.

Thanks, BT!  :icon_alabanza:


The MiniArt box (shown in previous photo's) & the Master Box ... box ... :-\ ... (not shown) are being retired from this build, as they're a bit too big, but they're being replaced by a selection from the following boxes from the same set;

Airfix/Tamiya/Vallejo/Mr Black Publishing/AK - I yet have to decide which to use, I may even be able to use all of them!  ;)

There are, also, 3 more resin wooden boxes from ResiCast joining the manifest.  :smiley:
