Reini78 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 used a piece of metal tube for the antenna wire inlet DSC_0003 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 The kit has only a mast that has to be glued to the windscreen frame. My dad didn´t think that this would bare the tension of the wire so he tries to do it original, drilled a hole through the windscreen and added a plastic rod that is fixed to the dash board.

I think the color may be more darker as far as I know later in the war partly the aircraft were painted in a darker olive tone, in earlier stages it was RAF Dark Green like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrardandrews Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Brilliant job you have made on what is a nice kit. I am not keen on how engine was tooled, cowling is not great and armament poor. The wing to fuselage joint good, cockpit detail okay. lots said about how accurate the kit is, not sure myself, as aircraft had a lot of development throughout it's life, and we haven't got a real example to look at. I would have preferred Eduard to have tooled one up, think they would gone the extra mile. yours is looking very good 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romel Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) When I said "I think the color may be more darker", I consider that: -At the beginning between the Summer of 1940 and April-May 1941 they were 2 colors green and dark earth. -R.A.F. color for sure. -After they spray new paint . UK no longer export to Romania . We don`t know for sure what kind of paint is because Romanian do not had a standard. But we know that meantime they received aircraft and paint from Polish Air Force that escape from Poland. It may be a Polish paint. -an last argument is that in decal instruction said dark green. But no matter . It can be RAF green also. Excellent work. And next one IAR in darker coat. Edited October 23, 2017 by Romel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
