This is my first entry for this GB: the Delta 2 kit of the Campini Caproni, previously issued by Delta in 1972 or 73. A newer kit was issued recently by Valom, and that makes this elegible for the group build.
You may watch a video of the real thing:
Not exactly the kind of aircraft that can be accused to look good. The same happens to the kit:
According to the plans in the Ali d'Italia booklet it is all wrong: the wings are too big, too thick and will require severe surgery; The fuselage seems to be too thin; in short, there is no single part of the kit that can be used as is. So... that's my kind of kit!
As you may see, I started to glue the undercarriage doors because that part of the wing must be modified and the location, size and format are all wrong. The canopy was designed to run in a large rail, but I covered it with plastic, still to sand.
Follow-up in a few days!
