sounds like a great list my aussie mate. for some reason, I haven't really been caught up by any Russian or Japanese aircraft. the little mule does sort of appeal in an ugly brute sort of way. kinda like a flying bulldog.
anyways the D model has progressed so far. the parts are formed into their segments, wings have been folded over and formed. the fuselage segments are tall thin from the cockpit back, rolled tightly along the bottoms at the color demarcation line. the forward sections have a less tight roll along the lines and slightly oval top section. the landing gear has been formed, tightly rolled tubes with the wheels installed. the engine cooling vent is an upside down staple form with the folds tightly creased then the radiator front is installed. I separated the front from the part and laminated it one card thick, makes it hold its form better...
