Hey
Cargo doors
Door sliders - I remake bottom slide from stripe to L profile, so cargodoors can be slide.
- fail - pattern on left cargo doors don't fit to pattern on hull (door bottom right corner)
Small air holes - I resigned on doubling the thickness of this elements
Bootom hull reinforcements and elements
-
part2
- BIG FAIL - damper doesn't fit - is too long OR the wire template has the wrong bend angles
So I cut it and shortened it stiffening the whole thing with wire.
It is a good idea to cut off the top strip and glue only the roll itself. Then adjust the length of the shock absorber and wind the cut strip onto the fitted roll.

Hello
Small progress on front side:
Bottom windows
And front fuselage element
Front window external frame
Hull
At this moment I don't make nose elements, because I don't know whole model balance. When this will be necessary, I add more weight ballast hiding in nose segments.
For next backward segments and engines & main gear cover.

Hey
For today:
Pilot seats - small bug - center element is to short - looks like missing stripe of purrple/blue part
Center instrument console - (I divided front panel to separate parts) - another small bud - front panel is in mirror, and downside panel cover part is in mirror too (upper additional button panel should be on left, not on right side).
I don't like the front panel in general. the white lines are barely visible against the light gray background
Controls and seat montage frame - from wire
Cockpit internal wall

Hi
This time I will present You process of building new ANSWER model from MSModel series: PZL W 3 Sokół in 1:33 scale. In build I use laser cut frame and reinforcements elements.
The frame of this model is quite similar to that of the W3/Anakonda model from GPM
For beginning - main hul frame
Then I glue to frame flor and wall parts
And then "bridge" wall that separate cargo cabin from pilots cabin

Moin Axel,
ich hatte vor vielen Jahren meine Schreibersche F 13 mit, ich meine tatsächlich japanischen, Piloten besetzt. Bodenpersonal gabs auch dazu. Weiß der Henker wo die herkamen, wahrscheinlich irgendeine Zeitschriftenbeilage. Den richtigen Scan hab ich natürlich nichtmehr, aber vielleicht reicht das ja als Anfangspunkt für die Detektivarbeit.
Viele Grüße
KatharinaHi
This paper crew members looks like addon from "KARTONOWKA 2/2002" from GPM

When you built up the fuselage, are the cardboard formers/bulkheads part of the kit or do you have to transfer from plan to cardboard?
Thanks 👍🏻
Generally, mostly I use "original/default" elements from publish and wire elements maked from templete. In models I use ready canopy selled in stores (if is available).
But sometimes if I see that designed solution is poor (like sometimes weak skeleton for big wings or huge areas without any reinforcements) I add some elements to strenght whole construction. Generally I use 0,5 and 1mm cardboarst "wastes" and wooden tooth/skewer sticks/planks (sometimes I change wire element to wooden). Less often I add wire elements.
Some stores offers ready 3D printed / resin elements (like wheels, small details, bombs, rockets, gun barrels), but I didn't try them yet. Maybe in future, who knows.

Hey
Engines covers
Outlet fins don't have reverse, so I glued It on color paper and roll. When they dry, I glue them to square frame
Next, outside elements (I decide to male joining tabs from black cardboard). And then put inside eleier made frame
The elements are a bit poorly fitted and need to be adjusted, especially the reduction element

Hey
Today cockpit segment fuselage part. First I form shape, then glue inside "glasses" in side windows. Next I put all on frame. Little bit shame, that inner side is white (only down are small pieces of colored parts).
When walls dry, I glue rest windows (top & front) cuted for single parts (easier to assembny).
Nose cover
And assembled cockpit segment
