Thank you for your praise, Zaphod! but there is still some distance from what you call "veritable masterpiece". To be honest, this model is not ideal, as walkiria said at the beginning. By contrast, Orlik's or Modelik model will be much better.

here comes the sun, äh der Fly "Uhu" and the construction report. Have fun browsing. Oha, mein deutsch is better.
PostCockpitnaseEigentlich kein Problem, wenn nicht diese Form wäre :D. Aber aus Ringen hätte man das nicht hinbekommen. Diese Dreiecke im Bild 41 und 43 sind die Teile, wo man viel Zeit und Geduld investieren muß. Bevor man hier und da etwas wegschneidet und sagt: 3 mal was abgeschnitten und immer noch zu klein, da sollte der Baumeister doch einfach eine kleine Papierschablone (Bild 41 Einzelheit a) anfertigen. Das erspart so manchen Frust. Perfekt gelungen ist es nicht, aber aus der Entfernung recht…Gruß Maxe
Thank you very much for your valuable reference, Maxe! I enjoy seeing your production process, and I hope my work can be completed as soon as possible

I'm starting a new building again. I hope this canopy doesn't lie in the dilemma of the last time. What worries me is that it is still provided to FLY Model.
Because the model I bought is very old, the paper can no longer withstand the pressure of production and processing, so I have to scan it and then print it on the blank cardboard. By the way, I made some modifications to the drawing to conform to my own aesthetics. I hope you will like it, too

Hello Ferrarifan,
looks (almost) finished, great result with the propellers.
Kind regards
Zaphod
Yes, Zaphod. Thank you! It is indeed close to completion, and several antennas need to be processed before it can be officially completed. I will take pictures of the complete effect after that.

I forgot to say that, according to my understanding, the fairings should be gray, not the grass green color provided by the printed matter. I think maybe the designer made a mistake and filled the color of the inner cabin here. I'll try to paint these two conspicuous parts with appropriate paint

How about water mist and heat iron press?
I might try heat iron first and then check the status and then (if needed) water mist to moisture sheet and try iron again.
Or visit a local laundry store and ask steam ironing press. Just idea though.
I tried my small home version though. It works most of times.
This is a creative and effective method! But the postman has taken this model away. He will give it to his boss to identify the amount of the loss. I will mail a new model from Poland again, just pray that the same accident will not happen again. Thank you Henryk and Seo.

Hello Ferrarifan,
this looks like beyond salvage. In Germany the postal service would (theoretically) be responsible.
Kind regards
Zaphod
Thank you for your concern, Zaphod. It is a pity that I am in China, but I should be able to get compensation after negotiation with the official postal service. It seems that I have to re order. I have to wait at least two months to get another new model

Hello Ferrarifan,
excellent overall impression so far - she looks like she might have been a good glider too.
Kind regards
Zaphod
Hi Zaphod, So far, everything is OK. I will start making two engines immediately. I hope I won't have any trouble.
However, the strut of the main landing gears will look a little troublesome. They are slender cylinders. Because the paper printed parts provided by Maly Modelarz can hardly be curled and kept from smooth. I am thinking about using other materials to make them to replace the paper parts of the original design.

Can you show us more of that? I never heard of it.
I use a special printing paper, which is coated with back glue. First, I copy the part pages onto this kind paper
Next, I separated each part with scissors and pasted them on the thick cardboard respectively. Because the back glue is very thin and uniform, it is much more comfortable than applying glue by myself

Dear all,
Thank you for your appreciation. I will continue to make new models and share the process with you.
