TonkaGR.1 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Good evening fellow modellers. Recently, I bought this rather old kit, offered by Revell for a bargaining price, so naturally I could not resist it Naturally, some serious sanding was needed (especially pin marks, they're everywhere!): I've supplemented the cockpit with rib structure, seat and basic instrument panel: Painted wings and fuselage: Then decided that this kit deserves better than Spandau machine guns provided and bought Eduard's offering: Decals were quite a pain to apply, they were thick and did not respond to any decal softener at all: All in all, fitting between bottom and top wing is not ideal but with some elbow grease and a lot of patience, hey presto: There are still some things that need to be made: additional wiring, replacing wire that spans from cowling to wing with a thinner one, finish undercarriage, add pipes between engine and cooler in the wing, seatbelts, weathering, etc... Stay tuned Regards, TonkaGR.1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rholland Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Nice work! I built this kit in 1969... Richard in NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I built this kit even before 1969 - cannot remember the year now. Built it again in the mid-1970's and still have it. Your are doing a brilliant job with such an old kit - but it shows that they can be made into very acceptable models with a little patience and care. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

BerndM Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Amazing result so far. It looks like a build of a much newer tooled kit. The machine guns are a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
