I'm Building this with Eduard Brassin Cockpit set and Begemot Stencil set.

First time using resin...could be interesting.

Nice collection of goodies
You can do several planes with that sheet
I have the same thing with the Flanker and Fulcrum stencil sheets
There are way more decals on there then you need for one plane
The resin is from Eduard ao that is usually pretty straight forward to use
Good luck with the build

Finished up with the resin, last night. It wasn't as daunting as I was expecting! Actually enjoyed it.

Onto the PE now.

I've never used a stencil set before, so I'm sort of playing it by ear, as to how much of it gets used...or how quickly I get fed up! :-)

Resin all dealt with and into primer.

Really enjoyed fettling the resin kit...very nice to work with and well worth it for the extra detail!

Photo etch from the Eduard Brassin Set...Slightly off shade to the Akan Emerald green but should be ok with a bit of weathering...

Love this stuff! I was a bit daunted by taking on resin for the first time but it was actually really good to work with.
Photo etch going down nicely...love the detail!

All together and weathered very simply using just the Mig Green Grey Panel Line Wash and a drybrush with black and aluminium.

going off reference pics, it isn't too far off many that i've seen.

Other than a couple of light seams along the nose section, there was very little fettling required.
