The Vuia I, another machine of the pioneer period from Rumania, built -as the rest of this series- some time ago. Hope fellow BModellers are enjoying this "pioneers" thread. A kit sold at a Romanian museum were the replica is, that has its shortcomings too, thus requiring replacements and scrathbuilding to render a decent result. The flying surfaces, as presented in the kit, are not realistic at all and were replaced; besides the wing being not totally accurate. Some photoetched items were again not accurate or two bi-dimensional and were replaced too. A "stitching" seam was created using "stitches" from an aftermarket detail set. The wing in the original plane was held in place by two structural members on top of it, and other two under it; the latter absent from the kit. Bear in mind that this machine was modified a number of times and the kit describes a particular one (although in general and vague terms and not accurately). So here is yet another pterodactyl (or Archaeopterix Styrenoides):- 14 replies
