Nice additions and cool colors in the cockpit! They liven up the basis kit parts substantially.

Looking good, really like the detailing

Oliver
cool! following

Rona
Very impressive built! I think the most noticeable issue of the academy kit is the main landing gear. The legs are way too long (2mm) and the MLG doors are too massive. But this is relatively easy to fix. Following!

Davy Vos Author
Thank you very much! And Rona, thank you for those tips!

Mr D
Do you use copper wire??
I was watching a YouTube vid and the guy was using the wire out of sandwiches bag ties, you know the type they twist to hold new electric cables ect.
It looked ideal for simulating wiring n break lines ect.
Nice job on the seatbelt's looking good 👌

Davy Vos Author
Hi Mr D, i use copper wire from electric cables indeed 🙂 Thanks!

Hello Davy. I'd like to try and recreate what you did with the wheel wells on this model on the one I'm working on. I've not tried scratch building like that before so it's new ground for me. Can you tell me what supplies I'd need to get started? Thanks.

Davy Vos Author
Hi Trev! Sorry for the late reaction, I must have missed your message completely. What I use most of the time are Evergreen polystyrene profiles (rods and squared), lead wires (scalemodel product) and spare parts. If you have those, all you need left is a good CA glue. Begin with adding a few details, and try to expand it every build. That way you'll keep the process and learning curve fun 😊👍🏻

Trev
Thanks Davy. Thats very helpful.

Rui S
Great work & photos 👍
