For once I decided to do something about the stash of kits that are massed in the loft. I've got to get around to building some of the kits I bought twenty years ago, otherwise what's the point of it all? So, less new models from now on, and more time spent on old gems like Eduard's fourth release from 1994. I always wanted to build this but just never got around to it, and it's a sharp reminder of how far Eduard have come. It's a limited run kit, the parts of which clean up pretty well and if you don't mind photoetch, most of it builds up quite easily.The Hansa Brandenburg's star-struts are a real pain to put together though, and it was just as well I had already decided to build mine as a crash victim, inspired by a photo that's appeared in a number of publications, notably the Windsock Datafile. So, mainly built out of the box but with a few scratch built items that included a new tail, undercarriage, and a hand carved prop made from a coffee stir stick. Other bits and pieces here and there were replaced or altered, and a modified Alley Cat figure from A2Zee Models was added to the base. Hope you like it. Hoping to go back forty-plus years for the next build! Haris
