Bughunter Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Here comes my third stripdown of the six Eduard 1/72 series, but the other 3 are not yet done. Its a Piper L-4 There was also a complete plastic kit in the box, but only some parts are used, like wheels, airscrew, engine and others ... Some struts and the gear was scratched in brass, which makes the model much more robust. I added also a rigging inside the wing after seeing a fantastic video about building those Pipers in Youtube. The upper part of the fuselage is very very fragile and very tricky to bring all parts together. It is nice, to have also a civil aircraft in that row. Hope you will like it, Frank compression bars not forseen by kit, with small tubes for rigging Completely soldered up to this point: A screw to form ... ... the cylinder heads from aluminium plate 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclarson Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Excellent! Very well done. I built one of those a few years ago but assembled it with super-glue as my soldering skills leave much to be desired. Cheers, Eric 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 So that's what you guys in the far north do during the long winter nights! That really is amazing skill, I cannot get my head around the techniques of soldering such tiny parts - fabulous little replica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be the already started Camel, but there is still a lot of work (the hard part) to do. I have only one stripdown ready not yet displayed here, but it's not from Eduard. Do you want to see that too? Cheers, Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
