well it seems that the kit's mold was designed by hand (you can see clearly handmade grooves on the flaps), so the overall kit quality is about 5.5/10. It requires a lot of sanding and filling the gaps with putty. Also, the assembly engineering of the kit is pretty basic too, so dont expect tamiya level of allignment. I'd say it's worth about 20-30 euros, not the 40e tag that it is keeping right now.

Ah, PAŻP livery, lovely! I'm not going to be the first one 😭
Where did you get the decals? I'm looking for a set too 👍
(PAŻP = PANSA = Polish Air Navigation Services Agency)
I won't tell them, I promise, honest! 😉

Hi, Lukasz. Keep tracking the progress and you will find out about the decals (:

Well, pic 10 refers to the fact, that this is a model of Beech 350 SP-TPU, "Parrot" flight calibration airplane owned by PANSA. I'm planning to gift it to the flight crew next time I meet them, so it would be nice if nobody told them about this project until I finished it (:

Big thanks to everybody for support, now the model is finished and is patiently waiting for its new owner. Again, please dont spoil anything to them about this project.

Brilliant! I'm surprised to find out the Turbolet decals are almost the size required for this plane too 😮 Which simplifies my plans a bit 😄

Very nice build! For some reason, the props in the kit are molded unfeathered. It's funny because even the box art shows them correctly as feathered when the engines are not running, a characteristic of the Pratt & Whitney PT-6.

Not sure how I missed this one but really nice results. Love this plane. Great addition to your collection.
