Reini78 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 My dad started this a while ago, then it went to the shelf of doom, main problem for him is to get the struts and wings aligned, sadly with this kind of kit no locating pins, etc.. Now he decided to giv it a new try. Had some problems with the cockpit fit, so he still has to close somehow the gap between headrest and rear fuselage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 have to replace the plastic rudder with the resin one for the correct version, also for the elevators the resin parts have to be used instead of the plastic ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 my dad had already glued both under wong to the fuselage, but when he bent them a little to get the alignment right, theycame off again, so he gonna drill some holes and use some metal pins to support the joint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisTheBear Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Coming along nicely, I think. This has always been one of my favourite inter-war fighters, and your dad is doing a stirling job so far. DennisTheBear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxidad Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Any more news on this? This kit is top of my "to-do pile", so I am keen to see where the pitfalls are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
