Brave man! Be warned the windscreen fit is terrible, best glue to bottom edge fill gap at top with plastic card and then sand and polish the whole thing in place. http://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=9371;

I've heard that the engines point outwards a bit too.

I'll second JP's "Brave man" comment. I remember this kit well. It was one of my 2014 binnings, but I have been known to give up easily!

I quite enjoyed building the PM Beech C-45 for such a cheap kit it's excellent value, unfortunately now the man behind PM models has passed away and the company has changed direction, the kits will start to get more difficult to find.

I look forward to seeing your build.

...looks nice!
Didn´t Encore Models used the same moulds, but added some resin replacements for engines and their nacelles, and other?
Once I almost bidded for one of them on the bay, but then I was too miserly, and someone else won...
The retail price for it is quite steep, no wonder, it´s only limited run.
Will look with interest, one guy of my modelling club had a start on this kit, and I noticed that it takes some filler and sanding to make it look good, so I´ll wait for some Czech company to make a new kit of this plane...
I still have a PM Nesher (some Israeli Mirage) on the shelf of doom, what a filler monster, but somehow still fun to make!
(Main reason for the building "stall": I don´t know yet really how a Nesher nose looks like, the kit only has a regular Mirage nose.)
Keep on the good work, cheers.
Waiting for the day, when wars for territory will be something to be read about in history books only.

Playing Tetris taught me: If I clean up too much, my kits disappear.....8-(
