After taking on a couple of non-LSP builds (the Airfix 1/48 Anson and Eduard 1/72 Z-37), it's time to return to the land of Large Scale Planes. I decided that this IAR would be next on my list of semi-obscure aircraft to build, and it even has a connection to my last one. The IAR-80 actually shares its rear fuselage with the PZL P.24, which is of course the upgraded version of the P.11 that I built on here last year. The first step so far has been a big one, and that's riveting the airframe. The Azur kit has nice surface detail, but I thought this would be a great test-bed for riveting. So I grabbed the Element tape and the Galaxy rivet wheels, and got to work. I've so far finished the fuselage from the cockpit back, the upper wings, and the tail surfaces. The lower wing and front of the fuselage are left, and those have some really complex shapes I'll have to figure out. Enough rambling from me, here's the beginning of the project. Hopefully it's a good summer project for me before school returns in August. Matt
