I'm a bit short on time right now but I'll get cracking on this as soon as I can.

In a matter of 1/2 hour last night I was able to build up the first set of wheel chocks and the drip-pan. The chocks are sheer genius and are in one piece. All the builder needs to do is fold along the lines provided at the correct angles and add a touch of glue at one seam. The drip tray should have four handles, two on each end, but I fumbled two of them before attaching :-wall :-wall. Eduard supplies five handles but I managed to lose two, so I have only one handle on each end of mine.

Yes, I should paint these items I think. Without having done the research yet, I think these are all red?

Okay, I've finished this set of ground handling items, and I must highly recommend them to y'all! The other pair of chocks took just a few minutes to assemble. Then I moved on to the intake and exhaust covers. These took a bit more work to get the parts formed (especially the radar cover) and glued together, but the process was still not difficult. After assembly the last step was to prime the assemblies with white primer and a coat of bright red.

I temporarily installed the items onto the DDR MiG in my collection to give a view of how they'll look on a completed model. Eventually I'll construct another airplane and permanently attach the ground equipment to that one.

My thanks to Eduard for this great kit, and to No.1 for sending them on for me to review!
