An interesting subject, the only kit in 1/72 of this soviet era flying boat. Originally used in a anti-submarine warfare capacity, later versions converted to air -sea search and rescue.

The box, and sprues:


The paint scheme

and decals


I made a start with the cockpit area,, not going to waste too much time on this, very little to see through the tiny windows, the seats alone consist of four parts.

No part numbers on the sprues and no locator pins, makes for some tedious building ahead..
