Kits is mixed in two boxes, seems to be the same mould at least…

Let’s start the sorting, there is a small colour variation of the resin dependent on kit, otherwise is only the engines, props and nacelles that differs
Contacted Kora that helped me out with the clear parts

Started with clean-up of the major parts. Some small air bubbles in the resin but overall nice moulds.
Dry fitting in progress. Need to improve the ventilation working with resin…

Nacelles on the wings, starting with the B version of the plane.
Decent fit but there is quite some small air bubbles in the resin to take care off.

Same mould, different outcome. Windows missing in the front area on one airframe. Will used clear styren for the windows going forward

Both pair of wings (A & B version) ready for assembly to the airframe

Nacelles and landing gear setup, metal and resin part will do the trick

Thank you for all attention and comments. Welcome to the build!
The Saab B-18 is not the most common kit available only in resin or vacu if you what to go for a 1/72. There is 1/48 kit from PilotReplicas to be released sometime. We hope soon!
