Built this little bugger lately - are you going OOB or planning to fix the Airfix' errors?

Oh no, just plain OOB. I even don't know what could be corrected 😉

Cool with a kit that's older than I am. Will follow

Oh, I see it is from 1960, so it is even older than I am 😉

There are lots of things you could correct, but I didn't do it either 🙂

Watch out for these side-ducts, their fit is very poor, I added them onto the deck after looooong session of filling and sanding.
However they fit the deck quite well once assembled and painted..

PS. Watch the crew cabin holes too, in my case they looked randomly located 😄

Thanks for this! I will do some of the needed things.

I can post some reference pics I found - let me know if you'd like to take a look

Yes, sure, please. It is early enough to make those little changes. Yes, the cabin holes are strange and the angled instrument panel made me doubt 😄

Cool. Interesting for coloring the model. And also interesting is, that there are no tiny little wheels to see. That vehicle must be updated every month a little bit. But it helps in some details that I will alter and I will have another look at them when coloring it. So much thanks for those pictures! 😄

No probs, the wheels are pure fantasy indeed. I also found these little wie-heisst-er-s on top of the side ducts should be coloured yellow, not red

😄 That's a cool name for that important engine details. I had to laugh out very loud! 😄

... and will paint them yellow as well

Unfortunately I can only find 1:1 eel. I was hoping to find 1:72 PE eels

Finished this little gem. It went together very good. I don't mind little misinterpretations. I removed the little phantasy-wheels. Now it is a funny part of my collection.
