Thanks, Greg and Don.
Isaac! I forgot to comment on your build but I did in Greg's. Looks great and I do hope mine turns out like yours. Who knew this plane was so loved? More tonight (I hope)...Dan

Evening, All!
I got a bit more done by adding little foot rests for the radio man and then I added the first part of the wing skinning around the root. So far, seems to match well with the camera hatch peering out the bottom. We'll see if it all matches up later! Dan

Well...mistakes were made.
So after I so carefully put on the root skins, I thought I'd better add the rounded section that runs up to the cockpit edge. I then realized that this piece is not made of two panels, but one that rings the sides and bottom of the wing joint. This means I needed to slide it in first BEFORE the root skins. Do'h!  I then began to carefully take off the root skins and they came off ok except for the area on the flat bottom so my son had the great idea to just make a copy of that since it was flat. I did so on some A4 paper. Cool...now if it did rip off, I'd have a copy. Turns out I DID get it off with some careful modeling skills so that's great! Now, I tried to add the side skins which have nice slots that fit over the spars but I couldn't figure out how to add them! With one side in, how on earth do you get the other side in? Lots of perplexing set in. My son then came over and said...try this Pops...just curl the piece and then it will go over both sides and spars at once. What a dork I am. It's so obvious now. When I realized this, I was so indignant and was joking around with my son. My knitting-wife heard and saw all of this and broke down laughing so hard, she was beet-red and in tears. She thought it was so funny that I was completely flummoxed and my son just looked at it for a split second and solved the problem instantly. 3-D space has never been my forte! Who said paper models are a solitary hobby. We all had such a hoot I couldn't help but share with everyone and try to explain. We'll remember this night for a long, long time... Anyway, when my sides stop splitting, I'll continue the build. Live and learn and tragedy averted...for now!  Thanks for indulging, Dan

Priceless!
Glad you could salvage the bottom wing piece. Greg

That's why I like to design my models in a simple, convenient and easy to build way.
Many Polish models complicate the construction more than it should be.....it's something masochistic about them. Good luck in continuing to build the model Dan. I see you have help if needed.  YOAV

Wonderful! I am really impressed. It will be very detailed model!
I like this plane, the only Polish dive bomber. Once I made it's model in plastic. It was in the early 1980s and it was one of my very first models. But it was only a simple polystyrene kit in 1/72 scale with no interior at all.
