Reini78 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 My dad still waits for a up-to-date Dora kit, the AMG is no epiphany. It is one kit for all early versions, more or less. The fuselage in the D kit is for a B model, cockpit seems to be ok for a D. The wheel wells are bigger than with the CA kit. For a D model some corrections are neccessary. Well, nevertheless my dad started the kit, but he doesn´t know yet which version or scheme he will do. He thought of making a B model with this kit, doing the Spanish Republican captured Condor B-1, but sadly this kit doesn´t include the longer slats or the wooden prop...

Reini78 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 My dad decided to go for the B-1, realized that you get the long slats by glueing the short slats and the leading edge gun cover together, the wooden prop will be donated from a Hobbycraft or CA kit.

Reini78 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 here are the short slats, included in the D kit combinded with the gun covers you get the longer ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 swapped the Kartenkasten from the starbord to the port side of the cockpit for a B model (which is btw a part from a Hobbycraft kit) also gonna use most probably a Hobbycraft instrument board instead of the kit´s PE-film combination 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 glued the short slats and the gun cover parts onto the wings, still some filling neccessary to make them look like one piece long slats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 still some filling and sanding to get the slats right canopy doesn´t fit right in length, needs some careful sanding to have remaining canopy frames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 the wing to fuselage fit isn´t that good, needs some sanding in the wing root area and some filling on the belly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 sanding done because this is the "D" kit, it has only the closed upper front cowl, so drilled and cut out the neccessary openings for the "B" model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
