I thought I would try my hand at the new free offering from Modele kartonowe

I am starting with the cockpit (sorry about the picture quality)

Same here, I was hoping to start on this one next week. The model looks real good although the engine is a little simple.

Nice start on the cockpit. I'll be watching this one.

Have a good one.

The more the merrier David. Thanks.

I'm not very happy with the way the skins are going on and the color I'm using for edge coloring is too light. There are also some definite alignment problems particularly with panel lines.

I have been building using the former and joining strip method (as designed). I don't usually build this way. I prefer former to former or former to skin edge butt joints.

I am planning to remove the skins and recover what formers I can and hopefully the cockpit. Then I will try skinning it using my preferred method.

Hopefully this will help with the alignment problem and give me tighter joints.

MODEL KARTONOWE! That’s where I downloaded my first airplane model years back. I still remember the days building Polikarpov I-16 with absorbed interest then was deep into paper model!
As long as I remember, the kit’s former size was rather large so I had to push former into the skin with brute force.
I hope the new method will work

I hear you - you can see that in this model too. There is an obvious bulge in the skin at the joins.

I seem to recall this from previous Modele Kartonowe build threads, that the formers-to-skins fit were on the tight side, calling for some careful sanding of the formers. On a side note, I picked up the edge colors for my ANBO this weekend and hope to start after I finish (maybe...who knows?) my CR.42.

Cheers!
