Thanks Dan they Quinta slides like anything have there good and bad points. The big slides Denis from Quinta are a great improvement it's the small handles and T-handles can break easily the dial already have the clear lens applied I p/u mine from these guys https://www.hobbynutmodels.com/collections/3d-print-detail

I am not the best photographer maybe some outdoor pics later.........now others it seems have a steadier hand than I but were the wires feed in the back I cut off the stubbs ,drilled .020",inserted hollow rod and then the wire.I like the Quinta kit for the big slides but had a nob break while fiddling with the IP the thin pieces break fairly easy or maybe just fat fingers

If you never mentioned it Dmitri I wouldn't of known any better doing some Nice upgrades.I built this one a couple years ago but not as many upgrades still came out quite nice though.

Mike be very careful when rigging on the stress you impart on those little arms coming off the SS I think 3/4 lines on each side one of mine came loose.

I started this build last night not much Russkie in the collection either this will be my 2nd SH kit to which I have a few limited run kits in the collection waiting to be built.I will be using for the first time the Quinta Studios copit it adds some nice details.I may play with the wheel wells have seen some Nice enhancements done by on builder.The Qunita people say to paint first then overlay the decal that started last night with the grey to which the instructions say to use a light gull grey I opted for neutral grey a tad darker.

I started these awhile back when the Mossie's engines started bogging me down.The Hurri with the pods is 1970's Revell,Hurri with 20's HobbyCraft 1990's (got both for $10) and the Blue Hurri is Malta Italeri Nice Kit! I hardly had any Hurri's built in the collection so it was like WTH.I can't tell you how many times I wanted to ditch that Revell was doing the build because I did it as a youth.The decals were old and very thin and the glue was coming off white as slide them in place hence I do not think any on the fuse are really straight!!They will look the part in the cabinet no contest winners that's for sure.

You know Guys just a little tidbit I have noticed from the newsreels of the times when you watch the factory workers clocking in they are not heavy set!The diet back then was so much better than today's methinks a small observation.
