MMs are quite simple but in most cases very inaccurate. You often have to make some corrections(designs are really old, sometimes problematic). I prefer much more aircraft models by Model Card. I think they're my favorite. I would call them "improved MMs". They have better designs, colors and they always have cockpits. And they're also pretty simple.
Here I got my 4 models by Model Card:
Vultee P-66 Vanguard
Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk
B5N2 ''Kate''
Junkers Ju-52

And some progress with P-38 in attachments. Should be finished very soon.

Finished!

Here it is!
Lightning is finally finished. It was a bumpy road but it's finished. That's important. I hope that I proved it's possible to build this old MM kit without scanning and changing cardboard. It's fully original with my little addons.
Hope you enjoyed this thread.
Thanks for following!

Great work Zenon, looks very good. And I'm surprised how fast the construction was. Very well done! And now, what's next?

Wonderful work, Zenon. You really made this old model shine, and I very much enjoyed following the build and your narrative of the joys and challenges of producing this superb model.

Superb effort Zenon. You even got the 'handed' props correct!

Thoroughly enjoyed this thread. You rose to the challenge and really did make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Congratulations on producing a fine model!

Probably I'll follow the poll list(Help me choose!) and choose the second one that had the most votes, in this case, MS.406
So, this one will be probably the next.
