wallyinoz Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 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. 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Anyhow, the end result speaks for itself. Beautiful build and finish! Hope you can clean up the house in time… ;-) Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Chopping off your empennage doesn't sound pleasant! 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!

Knight_Flyer Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Not much of an airliner modeller but that is quite an outstanding job on painting the livery. Even more so if the build was a difficult one to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
