SBLim-2A by Richard44 - WAK -1/33 - CARD - Polish license-built MiG-15 variant

[Richard44]

My kit finally arrived (including laser-cut parts and a clear canopy), and I had a chance today to have a good look at it.

 

Chris has given a description of the kit so I'm not going to repeat that. There are plenty of English instructions which need to be read rather carefully, referring to the six sheets (five colour, one B&W) of parts plus the two laser-cut sheets and the construction diagrams, as required. Many of the card parts need laminating onto the laser-cut sheets and in the photo below, the topmost sheet shows some part numbers highlighted, these are those that need laminating. Many of the parts have a thin black border but no indication as to whether the cut to release the part should be inside the line, along the line or outside it - I'm going with cutting along the line.

 

Not much done yet, the build will be slow as I'm building Harpy as well.

 

The first photo simply shows the five coloured sheets of parts (sorry about the colour balance). The second shows some of the parts for the two cockpits and the first of the fuselage sections. One thing to notice is that an opening has to be cut in the fuselage section if the pilot's cockpit is to be shown, and the front and rear cuts for this to be done are actually slightly curved, not straight. 

Cheers

English instructions

 

This is actually a rather generous description of the instructions -- the translation is very obviously not the work of a native speaker.

 

I'm happy to see this one under way. Best of luck!
