Denis DogadovThere is such a set of add-ons for this particular model.

Łukasz Gliński AuthorWelcome Denis!
Nice set indeed, but I think I'll stick to the OOB as much as I can (which is difficult indeed 😄)
I think I'll rob my Po-2 by ICM and get a gun from there (and order the Mini World one as a replacement)

Denis DogadovI want to warn you that the screw in the Po-2 by ICM set is rotating in the wrong direction.
This is a manufacturer's mistake.

Łukasz Gliński AuthorThx Denis. Seen them, but the delivery time estimate in my fav online shop in PL is up to 8 weeks.
I hope my build will be shorter 😄 The Mini World stuff is on its way already.

Denis DogadovI think there should be a partition in the cockpit.

Łukasz Gliński AuthorThx Denis, you made me start thinking,
On one hand it's quite visible on the other - I promised myself to build it "as on the boxart" (still looking for an orange backdrop 😄) and I try to refrain from pimping it up.
I guess it's not a great replica anyway, just an iconic model kit. with unusual history

J35JGreat start Łukasz with this unusual kit! 👏🏼
The old gingerbread colored plastic bring out some building memories.

Denis DogadovWell, I'm not insisting, it's just information, maybe someone else will need it.

Łukasz Gliński AuthorAdded the main colours today. Couple of correction and it's going to be ready for gloss varnish

CuajeteI was missing out on this.
I thought it was the Amodel tool, but it's not. I have the MisterCraft one, which is the same mold (I thought that was also an Amodel tool).
Fast and good job so far, Łukasz! 👍
Why Kapton tape?

Gordon SørensenFollowing. I have seen this for quite cheap on vendors tables a couple times, but never picked the kit up myself. You are doing a great job, Lukasz!

Łukasz Gliński AuthorThanks chaps for your kind and motivating words.
I added the decals today, painted the engines and all these little black details. I also added the skis yesterday. Decals come from various sets, courtesy of my stash of leftovers (Revell's MiG-21F13, Il-2 by ZTS etc.)
@Cuajete: I've seen somewhere the info (on SCM I believe) that Kapton tape is great to have the resin windows aligned with the external fuselage surface.
I think the AModel is a newer design, for example AML masks designed for AModel turned out to be useless for this dinosaur.

CuajeteThanks, Łukasz. So the Kapton tape worked well for the UV resin?
Great progress! 👍
1 5 January, 19:18
Łukasz Gliński AuthorIt worked however I might've had too high expectation when it comes to the smoothness of the surface.

Mark TaylorThank You for sharing Lukasz.
From your build, i've already added it to my 'list' for this next year.
Happy New Year...

Łukasz Gliński AuthorThanks Mharc!
I just have found that there's a slight nosejob needed, but I can manage this soonest next week 😄
1 6 January, 19:20
CuajeteLooks great, Łukasz! It's a disguised box-art 👍
We will wait until next week to see the result of that rhinoplasty with the patient recovered 😛
2 6 January, 19:26
Łukasz Gliński AuthorThanks for all the comments, much appreciated 👍
Nosejob done and the final pictures uploaded (I might add some snow ones when the winter strikes back again in the future)

Thomas KolbThat turned out really nice! Well done with yet another difficult kit! What kind of weird plastic is this kit is made of? Is it that stretchy, hard one with the ICM kits?
1 15 January, 14:51
Łukasz Gliński AuthorThx mates.
@Thomas: It predates the existence of ICM for sure.
This is genuine Soviet stuff, made before the collapse of the union.

Quite brittle, but works with modern glues anyway.

Łukasz Gliński AuthorThe snow has come again earlier this week, so I took two pictures on the real one 🙂
21 February, 18:58
CuajeteIt looks great, Łukasz! 👍
That snow looks so good it makes me want to make a lemon slushie 😛

Jennifer FranklinIt's a beautiful plane, nicely executed. It is sitting in the snow, perfect!
