Not sure about the yellow release handle, I would go with red. Yellow is dedicated to fuel lines, but I can be mistaken. here is an useful linkie

You are correct! But the release handle is still on my PE fret. I will install it after fitting the pit, since it will be easily knocked off. The handle you see is red as well,  but looks yellow since you see it from the top in the pic and shines metal. I’ll add some extra red to that as well. Cheers!

Really was not liking the KG13C control stick Aires provides. Downloaded a decent file for the handle and drew the rest myself. Jist picked them out of the printer and they are curing right now. Picture below is the resin Aires version i abandoned.

So… not being happy with the resin MDC transparent parts, i 3D printed a mold for the upper canopy. I bought Evergreen transparent sheets in 0.2 and 0.4 mm. I’ll heat up a piece and pull it over my mold.

Painting and fitting the Aires parts. Shite fit. Probably due to shrinkage and it being… well.. Aires.

Also remade the sanded away detail in the MDC interior. Almost fits. Almost.

Mind the gap!

This whole set is A JOKE.

Every single part needs to be seriously altered or completely remade.

The rear upper part has serious shrinkage OR the side parts have. Either way: more scratching is needed.

Nice! Please share more pictures when tested. Are you making canopy screen? 

Yes. Indeed. Already made a master for the large hatch on the nose, but will also make the glass nose. The resin on the set is brittle, thick and yellow…

I’ll do a first test run this weekend
