Thanks for the link, Isaac I guess that the pictures came from a small movie in YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVFclGYU-UY
The flaps are not as simple as they may look!
The Answer kit represents the second version, with a dual chamber rocket. The movie is about the first version, with a three chamber rocket. I was a bit surprised to see 3 exhausts in the movie and just 2 in the kit but Wikipedia put the record straight...

The cockpit section is the trickiest part of the kit. There is a joint in the fuselage skin, just in the middle. The cockpit walls have cuts for the fuselage formers but I found it almost impossible to keep the formers and still get a decent joint on the fuselage. The solution was to cut the upper part of the formers and to put inside tabs to link the forward and rearward skin sections.

What a lesson in construction of rounded parts!!!! The model is almost complete, looking forward for your final steps. Regards,Tony.

I think you will need to put a few grams of weight up front to keep it on all 3 wheels.

I'm almost yhere, Tony
@ Isaac - I added card formers to the tail and a bit of ballast was needed. Without the extra formers, I guess that the nose ballast could be discarded.

The fuselage front section is mostly taken up by the nose gear bay. The nose gear is a bit more detailed than the main one but still far from what Halinski and GPM usually do. Anyway, it is well in line with the overall kit style and the result is rather satisfactory.

Really great work. Such smooth transitions of the fuselage and engine sections!

It looks like a simple kit but somehow I have this small red warning light in my head telling me that it isn't that simple at all. Ricardo, you always amaze this forum - I have never ever discovered even the smallest spill or hint of glue on your models. I wonder if you use any??

Cheers,
Erik

Thanks, MKS and Erik
Erik - as little as possible and sometimes less

Assembling the canopy is never my favorite task. Assembling a canopy without a good quality plastic accessory is definitely never my favorite task! Well, the not so bad news is that the windscreen panels are flat and the remaining can be done with simple curvature. I didn’t quite get the idea regarding the canopy rear (yellow) part. It didn’t fit the next part forward. I rotated the rearmost part 180º (forward/aft) and trimmed to get a good joint. This way, the canopy assembly falls a bit short of the emplacement marked on the fuselage. Painting it yellow helps to disguise the mishap…

Good craftsmanship on that canopy, Ricardo (of course, all your craftsmanship is superb).

Looking forward to see the rest of the windshield attached. This is the weak portion of the design with no vacuformed canopy.


Looks good though.


Isaac

Thanks, Don and Isaac
@ Isaac – the canopy assembly fits well to the fuselage. The only “oddity” was at the back, as referred to before.

The model is complete. As you have seen during construction, it is not an ambitious kit. However, in the “bang for the buck” class, and I mean both the kit’s cost and the time needed for assembly, it certainly gets a good score! So, if you are aiming for a relatively simple kit of an exotic plane, go for it.
As usual, I start with general views.
