Sorry Hans, I'm steppin out of the blacksmith shed and indoors with the jewelers on this one!
For those who do not yet have this kit in hand, I'll say, it looks daunting. The instruction sheet is enough to give anyone a headache!!! Parts #s match up with the steps, but they are strewn about, all over the place on the sprues. I layed out all the sprues on my display cabinet, just not enough room on the bench to go searching all over for the parts I need.
There is loads of detail and tons of parts. The detail is very reminiscent of some of their classic kits but with more of it, with a few sink here and there. Nothing like the other new Revell offerings. The recessed panel lines would be huge, even in 1/32 scale.
I've gotten started on some of the fiddly bits. I had a set of True Details wheel on hand, so I started with them. The buldge is a bit much. The one on the right has been sanded a bit.
Then the landing gear. I added an additional 6 pieces of wire to the mains, and carved out the solid molded braces for the tail gear.
On to the engines. The kit offers 6 pieces to make each engine. I added 20 extra pieces each for the wiring.
That's all for now.
Anybody else who's gonna be jumpin in on this kit is welcome to join me here!
