Hi everyone,
I started to assemble this 1:72 Dekno kit

A quick look inside the box, as you can see below, some parts are molded in light blue resin, whilst others are provided as grey 3D prints:

Assembling the kit is quite a delicate operation.
First, I assembled the various parts to get an overview of the main fitting issue...
The fit of the parts leaves a lot to be desired, they are vague, imprecise and require adjustment, alignment and trimming ... I have a long and complex "fitting and sanding" job ahead of me.

Spread Stories of Everyone Through T-shirts
T-shirts are not just a fashion item. Behind each design, each texture printed on the fabric is a story, a message sent. Beyond just expressing personality, gratitude, or spiritual values, T-shirts have become one of the most natural and intimate ways to connect people. With the continuous development of the fashion industry, more and more brands such as Lion King Shirt (https://wefunder.com/feed/184221-how-lionkingshirt-keeps-the-customer-at-the-heart-of-their-business) focus on creating not only beautiful T-shirts but also special meanings. Material, style and design are invested to ensure that each shirt is not only a daily wear but also can tell a separate story.
1. When Fashion Becomes A Voice
T-shirts not only help people express their style but also a way to spread the message subtly.
1.1 A Shirt and Personal Story
Every T-shirt a person chooses in some way reflects their personality, interests, and even mood. Playful motifs express optimism, while minimalist designs evoke sophistication and elegance.
Many people choose T-shirts printed with profound words as a way to remind themselves or convey their thoughts on the opposite person. A favourite quote, a symbolic image of a memorable memory which makes T-shirts more special than any other item.

T-shirt design with meaningful message.
1.2 When the T-shirt becomes a Means of Community Connection
Besides personal stories, T-shirts also play an important role in connecting groups of people who share their interests, beliefs or ideals. The uniform of a group, a team or a charity has the power to create an invisible cohesion among members.
The patterns of social messages such as environmental protection, equal rights or spreading love are increasingly popular. Just a picture or a line on the shirt, the message can spread to more people, creating a strong impact without too many words.

2 . The Important Element of a Soulful Shirt
A beautiful shirt is not only thanks to the design but also depends on the material and production method.
2.1 Material Factors Determining Comfort
Material is always the first thing to be interested in when choosing to buy a T-shirt. A soft cotton shirt will bring a pleasant, cool feeling, suitable for many types of weather. In contrast, the synthetic mixing materials help the shirt have a higher durability, suitable for sporty designs or outdoor activities.
The development of the textile industry has brought a variety of environmentally friendly fabrics such as organic fabric, recycled fabric or bamboo fabric. These materials not only help protect nature but also bring a completely different, soft and safe wear experience for the skin.
2.2 A Combination of Art and Personality
A T-shirt becomes more appealing when both its design concept and print quality are well-crafted. Neutral colours such as white, black, and grey bring minimalist beauty, and elegance, while vibrant colours show a youthful and dynamic spirit.
In addition, the increasingly advanced printing technology makes the motifs sharper, and more durable. From traditional silk printing to modern digital printing, each method brings a unique effect, helping each shirt to have its imprint and reflect the style of the wearer.
3. The Development of T-shirts in Modern Fashion Trends
Today, LionKingShirt: High-Quality POD T-Shirts for Every Occasion (https://www.pinterest.com/lionkingshirt/) is no longer limited to simple designs that have become an integral part of the fashion world.
3.1. T-shirts in Street Fashion
Streetwear style is increasingly popular, and T-shirts are one of the main items of this trend. Oversized designs, logo-printed T-shirts, and unique patterns always capture the attention of young people.
Major fashion brands continuously release T-shirt collections with stylish and creative designs. This not only shows the continuous development of T-shirts but also proves that a simple item can also become a symbol of personality.
3.2. T-shirt in Minimalist Style
Besides the street trend, minimalism is also becoming the choice of many people. The smooth, non-textured T-shirts or exquisite designs help the wearer easily coordinate while keeping elegant.
The combination of T-shirts with blazers, casual pants or midi skirts has created new styles, making the T-shirt no longer just a casual item but also appears on more important occasions.

4. How to Coordinate the Right T-shirt on Each Occasion
T-shirts are versatile items that can be combined with many different styles. Depending on the circumstances, a simple shirt can be flexibly transformed to suit each specific situation.
4.1. Casual Outfits – Comfortable yet Stylish
Going out is an opportunity to express your own personality and fashion style, so T-shirts are often combined with youthful and dynamic style items.
T-shirt + jeans: This is a classic combo that anyone can apply. A basic T-shirt combined with torn jeans or wide-tube jeans will create a personality and comfort.
T-shirts + shorts: This combination is suitable for summer days or trips. Khaki shorts or denim shorts paired with a printed T-shirt create a youthful and energetic look.
In addition, can add accessories such as sunglasses, caps or sneakers to complete the set.

T-shirts become a modern fashion trend.
4.2. Coordinate to Work with T-shirts
Despite being a casual item, T-shirts can appear in the workplace if you know how to combine them appropriately. T-shirt + blazer + casual pants: This is one of the ways to help T-shirts become more elegant. A blazer wearing plain T-shirts combined with casual pants creates a modern, youthful style but still ensures professionalism.
4.3. Coordinate School Clothes with T-shirts
When going to school, costumes need to ensure comfort but still retain neat and well-groomed features. T-shirts are the ideal choice for those who want a simple but still beautiful outfit.
T-shirt + baggy pants: This style helps the wearer feel comfortable moving while retaining the nneatnessBaggy jeans or baggy khaki bags combined with T-shirts create a youthful overall, suitable for the school environment.
T-shirts from Lion King Tee Shirts (https://www.slideserve.com/lionkingshirt) have surpassed the boundaries of a regular fashion item to become a means to show their personality, convey the message and connect people. Whether it is a personal story or a community idea, T-shirts always hold the role of fashion, helping each person tell their own story.
Choosing a shirt is not only based on style or material but also a way to express yourself creatively. Among countless choices on the market, T-shirts hold special meaning and unique appeal, allowing everyone to find a part of themselves in each design.

Great start, Rodolfo :smiley: But ... there is something 'off' about this kit's main undercarriage legs.
Perhaps the main legs are being modelled as if the aircraft was airborne? (All period photos seem to be of the Super Solution on the ground.) When shown 'weighted' on the ground, the Laird's undercarriage legs were much more splayed.
The simple solution, of course, would be to display your finished model on a stand to show it airborne :D

Those main-planes seem way to short in chord :o For the speed it did I guess it was sufficient :icon_surprised:

It is a kit that really puts my patience to the test ...
The landing gear broke off and and when I removed the masking, the primer came off...

:o

Ouch...
The landing gear does look pretty narrow on the model. Photos and drawings, that I can find, show a big angle between the legs and the wheel pants.
Not sure if this is an original or a replica:

Too bad about the paint! The masking and colors otherwise look perfect.
