Another 1/72 Heller Connie L1049


Recommended Posts

Well! did this one ever fight me to the finish, disaster followed mishap followed.. well you get the drift. The fuselage halves were very hard to put together because they were quite thin and distorted. I ended up chopping off the empennage and rotating it 5 degrees to get a straight fuselage! I have been doing decals and dangly bits all day, tomorrow I will polish it, top coat it maybe dirty it up a little..and adjust the flight pose on the stand and chuck it in the cabinet. Then I can start cleaning up house for my wife's return from her 1 month sojourn in the UK.

Chopping off your empennage doesn't sound pleasant! :shutup:

Love the Connie.

Very much worth the battles as the result is outstanding

Good luck cleaning up in time.....sounds like you've had a great month of uninterrupted modelling! :winkgrin:

Cheers

Dear Lord, but that's nice. Love the wingtop details. In 1/72 you must have some large cabinets.

Cheers,

Mike

hi Mike,

with careful arrangement and use of stands I think I am alright for shelf / cabinet space for another year
