  1. Hi, Not many times ago I have bought the Latecoere 28.5 resin kit bu SBS (Hungarian company). The kit is presenting a floatplane variant of basically mail plane in livery from an era of long range pioneers flights. Exactly it is Latecoere 28.5 "La Fregate". The short description of the type is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latécoère_28 Here is a in-box scheme - just to see how it looks like: I was not cheep, so I bought only one. One day I should like two variants of the Latecoere 28 (and his development - Latecoere 290). One will be a Spanish Civil War transport machine So you can play the game "find 100 details which differs those pictures".... There was very limited series kit of Latecoere 290 it is really difficult to get. I hope the passenger/mail variant will appear one day so my target machine is torpedo-bomber Latecoere 290. Thisiis my starting point: the model and three books (plus Internet) I scaled the drawing from books (two are same) in 1/72, they agree very well in all dimensions (or I overlooked something) Few days ago I started work on wings, fuselage and the main task - much bigger floats. However unexpected construction problem appeared. The resin block in a place where Late 290 had windows. So I have to remove this block I cut it like that: Using driller I removed the block The window in rear part of fuselage is blinded and openings for new windows are drilled out. I glued together wings and ailerons I started to wok on enlarging of floats . If I failed I will go to wheeled Spanish version The other parts in resin, PE and very nice decals. To be continued Regards J-W
  2. Although Late 302 is among the most sought after kits I haven't ever seen it built. Time to change this sad stats and seriously decrease the value of my stash by building one The kit comes without decals so one of the first task was to get one. I bought a book about french flying boats that I could not praise high enough https://www.amazon.co.uk/French-Flying-Boats-Gerard-Bousquet/dp/8363678066 Based on the information from the internet and this book I have ordered a custom decal. It has arrived recently and I'm very pleased with it The decal was designed and printed (with white, otherwise I would print it myself) by a man called Alexey, check out his portfolio, highly recommended http://www.pas-decals.ru/forum/barakholka/6085-shtuchnye-dekali-po-individualnym-zakazam Another problem is that the transparent parts are all yellow and cannot be used. I decided to vacform my own using kit's canopy as a master. On the right is the canopy from Bizerte that is even worse. I will try to utilize the abilities of my vacforming machine and fix two problems at the same time. First step - create a positive silicon form once the form settles I will take a negative silicon form from it using separation fluid and cast a negative resin form out of it.
  3. Having not started the Farman kit, and with uncompleted Builds all over the place the obvious thing to do is to post a fresh build thread rather than finish an existing one ! To be fair this is also prompted by the fact I'm building not one but 2 French aircraft in the High Wing GB, and I was feeling guilty I was letting @Wez down. So please see below, this will go nicely with my recent Potez 452 Parts and instructions pictures to follow. Cheers Pat
