I worked over the avionic bay to give it a more appropriate look for what is usually a place with many black boxes! Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of pictures available from these area. I create most details of only one partial picture … 70% are coming from my imagination!

I'm sorry for the time between my updates. I'm not a very fast builder !
My objective with the canopy is to represent the curtains. I will probably use some cigarette paper for that.
I've purchased the Quick Boost nose to compare it with the CWS model. the shapes are very close, but if the molding quality is pristine, the fit is not. The heigth is ok, but the width lack 0,5mm on each side. However, it should be easy to shape the fuselage with a file so as to conform it to the nose size without the use of putty.
Now I have to take a decision ! Cold War Studio or Quickboost ?
It's not an easy question, both have their pros and cons althought I think the CWS is worth the price to be cleaned, and re-engraved because of it better dimensional fit. Wait and see 🙂

I have heard of the short comings of the kit. Not high on my personal list, but interesting to see how making the model more accurate goes. 🙂

I'm slightly confused on why everyone keeps chopping off the noses on the HB 34? What's wrong with the nose? How's the kit in general does it fit good?

I would have preferred to let the nose like that, but when you compare to the real one, the tip is too rounded, and more complicate to fix, it doesn't have the famous platypus look…
