This is my subject for this GB.
It is an Eduard profiPack, but I bought it second hand, and the photo etch and instrument panel decals are missing, also the painting instructions. No doubt I can get the instructions online.

That's a shame Ian on the missing parts. Did you know it was like that when you bought it or did you get a nasty surprise on opening the box?

It was a surprise Andrew. But it will build nicely out of the box, and I’ll just have to paint the instrument panel.

Thats a bugger Ian , the seat belts should be easy enough to source ( if you havent already got some ) or just use the pilot and I’m sure painting the instrument panel wont be a problem. Its a similar story with my entry , an Eduard profipack but missing decals, photo etch , resin and instructions ! The difference is it was clearly marked on the box and priced accordingly( £2 !!!)
Cheers tony

That's not good. Did you ask for some money back.

I've just checked and have a slightly earlier reboxing of this in the stash. Almost plumped for it rather than the Yak.

So will be interested in how this goes together.

Looking very good Ian! At this rate you will have yours done before mine sees any primer!

I assume the is a kit one? I think mine has one too.

Great work.

Good progress Ian, looking good :smiling4:

It seems a very nicely detailed cockpit.
