    Off topic but looking at those photos, it seems the S.65 had at least 2 different windscreen designs. Anyways, sorry to derail.

    Another interesting build. I need to get myself a copy of that book.
  3. Jo B
    I see. Cool. Thanks for the links to those scratchbuilds.

    Moa, you have great taste. Another beautiful subject. Are you using balsa wood for the fuselage? If so, what are you sealing it with?
  5. Jo B
    I'll certainly have a look, Moa. Thanks.
  6. Jo B
    Such a beautiful aircraft and a beautiful build. I have deep appreciation for these gorgeous objects. Thank you for building this, Moa. Wonderful. I look forward to seeing more of your builds.

    That looks so good. I can't wait to build mine yet I'm also anxious about it, too. You've done a really nice job, Moa. Congratulations. I'll use this build thread and tips you've given to help me through making the kit.

    Oh. I was talking about the copper surfaces on the wings. I thought they were some kind of cooling system.

    That is looking great, Moa. All that hard work is paying off. Very pretty. What colour/paint did you use for the radiators?
  10. Jo B
    This is going to look beautiful, Moa.
  11. Jo B
    Moving along nicely, Moa.
  12. Jo B
    Great job, Moa. I'm sure this will look fantastic after all the hard work.
  13. Jo B
    Oh my. Well, I really need this.

    Great work, Moa. Revisiting this thread will be very valuable when I start my kit. The 'radiators' really confused me too when I first started doing a bit of research. I thought there was another version of the plane or it had been updated.Ha! Oh well, now we know it was just Karaya's 'imagination'.

    Very nice. Just my style of aircraft: Beautiful and no wheels.

    Aves Apoxie Clay

    Jo B replied to Jo B's topic in Other Tools

    Thanks for the response, Jan. Yes, I did put the clay on the sheet without any sanding, scuffing or cleaning. I'll give your recommendations a shot and see how it turns out. Thanks!

    Hello. Recently, I've purchased some of Aves' Apoxie Clay after having watched Paul Budzik's excellent video about it. I started to play around with it just to get a feel for how it works. It's nice to use, plenty of working time and it sands beautifully. Best part about it is that it doesn't shrink. However, I did have one issue with it. While experimenting with it, I stuck it to a sheet of evergreen styrene and left it to cure overnight. I wanted to see how well it would adhere to the styrene. The answer was 'not very good'. It came off quite easily, even in the areas it was applied thin. Right now I don't have much confidence in using it on a model. I figure I must be doing something incorrectly as it seems to work well for Paul. Does anybody have any experience with it? Am I missing something? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Beautifully done. Gorgeous aircraft. The flying equivalent of mid to late 60's Matra race cars.

    Beautiful objects.

    This is a great build. I really love the subject matter. I have the Williams Bros. Caudron and I can't wait to get to it, but....I really need to get my hands on a C.561. Easily one of my favourite aircraft of all time. Great work @Bengalensis
  21. Jo B
    Thanks for these, Moa. Fantastic.
  22. Jo B
    Yes. I've seen that M.C. 72 kit before. It looks nice. I'll have to go through that thread. Thanks! I quite like the 'Porco Rosso' model. Seems like it's a nice build.
  23. Jo B
    Yes. It's too bad that these Schneider Trophy racers don't get more interest. I love them, but we'll have to make do with the models we have available. I might try to scratchbuild one of them, one day. Come on, Tamiya. Give us a Macchi M.C. 72!
  24. Jo B
    Yeah. When I first bought this kit, I started doing a bit of research on the plane. I realized pretty quick that the various technical drawings were all over the place. No two drawings seemed to match up. I think it's best to just go by the photos available, and try to build something that looks like a reasonable rendition of the original.
  25. Jo B
    Oh boy..... I just bought this kit last year. I figured it would be a handful. These Schneider trophy aircraft are my weakness. I do hope you continue on with the build.
