You may have initially put your head on the block with this build Bill but by the looks of it you're well on the way to nailing it and coming up trumps.

Lest We Forget
great stuff Bill......we can never have too much information mate, keep at it....
Friend once told me "Knowledge not shared is wasted"
Good stuff Bill, and all up-dates are welcome, big or small.
I agree. Great work going on there.
Thanks for all the encouragement.
I've done some more on the back seat. But first..... the plastic on this kit is crap! Super glue would not hold the pvc card in place. As soon as I started shaping it to the contours it popped off. So a piece of the same kit went in. Got some big cracks to fill. And some shaping to do as well on that bottom trailing edge of the wing......
I made a back wall to fit the two haves, they are not even close to being alike. Then I cut the center out to for a rib. Then uprights for the seat support rails, then a headrest, don't want the KGB agent to be uncomfortable, do we. The seat is ready to install. All the new bit I will paint light blue, for that Carnaval look!
Planes are so simple....... damned helicopter builds!
Taking the bull by the horns ah Bill, that's good stuff me old mate. How come you got two flags!!!!!

Two flags?
Greed!
*I started six weeks of Irradiation treatments today.

Me too, and good work too. BTW, wouldn't the 'agent' be NKVD ?
Not more research??????????Originally Posted by Airframes
I will have to look that up......... too. LOL
*Did...... below is from Wikipedia..... the things you learn in here.
On February 3, 1941, the Special Sections of the NKVD responsible for military counterintelligence (CI) became part of the Army and Navy (RKKA and RKKF, respectively). The GUGB was separated from the NKVD and renamed the "People's Commissariat for State Security" (NKGB). After the German invasion, the NKVD and NKGB were reunited on 20 July 1941. The CI sections were returned to the NKVD in January 1942. In April 1943, the CI sections were again transferred to the People's Commissariats (Narkomat) of Defense and the Navy, becoming SMERSH (from Smert' Shpionam or "Death to Spies"); at the same time, the NKVD was again separated from the NKGB.

Good luck... and very nice build you have going on.
In the realm of dog fighting, if it's a fair fight... you did something wrong.
