Hello Britmodellers,
this is my most timeconsuming model started 1980, stopped because the Airmodel vacu was much too wrong. I began to build it in segments, but the girls needed more time.
Then i stopped modelling for many years.
After i started again in 1991 i completed the fuselage finally in 8 main sections. The glass is also made from scratch in 7 pieces plus black PS frames cut from a video boxing.
It took 14 years to finish the scratch build in 1994.
A picture was in ModellFan then. It is not the Trumpy model, it is easy to discern. "F-107" is cutted airbrush-foil and laquered.
It took more than 400 hrs. Stencilling is Verlinden and Microscale as are the scratch decals. Only the wings are (quite changed) from Airmodel Vacu.
The later pictures are from the 90s. Aerophile was my main reference...
The last pic is from 1991, you can see, because of the grey Dupli Color Autospachtel the model is very, very heavy....
Cheers,
Tom
