Great reference photos, are those from Monino? Looking forward to watching the build.

Yep, this are mine photos. I visited Monino this summer, and had a great chance to get really close to the actual aircrfats.

A first build update: The most distinctive feature of the second prototype is the transparent port on the nose, hiding equipment inside. The Modelsvit provides parts for it, but you need to create the complex opening yourself, and better to do it before installing the cockpit. Here's what I've done:
1) Made a mark on the fuselage with the soft pencil, to position the upper side of the opening;
2) Created a template mask, using the transparent part as the form sample;
3) Applied it to the nose;
4) With the help of the sharp dentist probe, carefully rescribed the needed form on the surface;
5) Detached the mask, checked the result;
6) Drilled a hole in the center, to make further cutting easier;
7) Sawed off the excesses of plastic with small CMK saw;
8 ) Removed the leftovers with Xuron cutters.
Of course, for now it's only a draft, but it's quite accurate. It will require some careful sanding now, to correspond the transparent part accurately.

Well, you may say so, the shoot was taken at night and it was a bit stylised - also, we weren't actually allowed to trespass that area at night 🙂
