Yes 
Once when cockpit is assembled, rest going faster. I am impressed with precision of the kit and with some patience, it can result in superb build. No specific tips in cockpit work, only thing maybe better to do, is not to put all etched control sticks in cockpit side consoles before join cockpit elements, as suggested in assembly instruction. Reason for that is possibility to knock em out during protruding parts into each other to fit pin and holes. Better to do that after, access is so good as well visibility.
Inside wings are mark holes to drill em for possible fuel tanks and missile racks. I choose to do variant with clear wing, I simply want to make it so clear, variant with armament will use for some build in future. Wings precise match to fuselage, this kit almost dont need filler, except to seal join lines, to be 100% sure in smooth surface.

Combat Warplanes / Lior? et Olivier LeO H-43
« on: December 04, 2021, 09:23:40 PM »
In 1933, the French Navy announced a competition for the development of a seaplane for operation in coastal waters. It was to be operated both from coastal bases and launched from shipboard catapults. Among the 5 projects submitted for the competition was the LeO H-43 seaplane from Lior? et Olivier. December 4, 1934 - the first flight of the Lior? et Olivier LeO H-43 reconnaissance seaplane.
LeO H-43 was a 3-5-seat medium-sized plane with a float non-retractable landing gear. It was equipped with a 650 hp Hispano-Suiza 9Vb engine. The armament consisted of 2 ? 7.5 mm machine guns + up to 150 kg of bombs.
Based on the results of the tests, the commission chose a seaplane from Lior? et Olivier, taking into account further improvements. This process was delayed ? the first pre-production copy was ready only in July 1939, and only in February 1940 the aircraft began to enter service with squadrons. By this time, the Leah-43 was obsolete, so only 21 seaplanes were built.

Small start today, I hope more progress will be in days to come 
no special note, parts are crisp and assembly goes so easy
