I had some time to look up those kits in detail.Wow,that's A LOT of work you guys put into those recolors.US Navy isn't really in my scope of interest but I just might build one for a gift to someone.H-75 Hawks on other hand present me with dylema,I don't know where to start

Likely with awesome Finn or Vichy French but when ...Not enough time.I'll come up with something.

Thank you both for awesome work.

You guys do beautiful work, and what a nice gesture for Nobi.

Thanks for the positive response people. Let's hope it eases in some measure the financial pinch on one of our favourite designers.

As promised here is the first of my builds from this set.It's enlarged a bit ,a hair larger than 1:72 scale.Hardest part-undercarriage.Very small,rounded parts but still doable.

One snag I hit is engine cowl.It's good on the front but too large on the back.Builder has to insert engine cowl furter in (closer to cockpit).I'm not sure if that was intended since fuselage in front of cockpit is a bit too long in original Nobi model,inserting engine cowl deeper fixes both issues and everything ends up more or less the way it should be.

French version will follow.

Mind if we put the photos on the Ecard listing to show as a sample for the kit?

Great job Karol. You do realize yours is actually a test build of this particular repaint! That cowl looks like it's where I intended. I tried to replicate the complex landing gear as scale as possible. The builder needs to refer to photos of the full size to work it out which you have obviously done.

BTW Karol, I know you're into things Finnish, I hope you've got Brent's Fiat G-50 on your 'to-build' short list.

**Butelczynski** · #20 11-03-2019, 04:14 PM

It's already printed and waiting for its turn. So are about two dozens of other models including Dc-2, Tiger Moth,I-16, Blenheim.(all of those Finnish). How.will I build.all of them I don't know

And then there is Finnair A330 and upcoming Md-11 airliners,both 300+ parts.each lol.
