JOCKNEY Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Good Luck Jan Never seen this kit before, so really looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Can you buy a 1/720 scale biplane to give you an idea of how big this actually was I wonder ? cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the 1/720 DKM Graf Zeppelin a couple of years ago, no biplanes, just 109s and Ju87s but I have that on display on a local air base so I can't show you the size comparision there. Here you have some pictures from the build. (one square=1cm) by Jan H, auf Flickr by Jan H, auf Flickr Edited August 26, 2018 by SAU 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAU Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Some parts put together, just some sinkmarks on the engine gondolas and no warping on the fuselage. The tiny little propellers have a bit flash that needs tidying up by Jan H, auf Flickr by Jan H, auf Flickr Btw, the fuselage is one slippery 👹 to hold and been on the floor several time already. Only good thing there is that the carpet monster choked badly when it tried to swallow it 🧟♂️ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live about 20km east. A lot of restaurants in the city for all tastes. If you are into military history, you have the KA2 Coast artillery museum and Marinmuseum Btw, did you try Glassiären? Big ice creams (three tastes of ice cream = 9 balls) and a lot of gigantic seagulls just waiting to grab them 😉 PS. If you visit the city again, just let me know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAU Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Back to the harsh reality again A lot of sanding done and the fins, stabilizers, rudders whatever it's called on an airship are in place by Jan H, auf Flickr Size comparision, a P-47 cockpit in 1/72 and the tiny props and engines that I've got to take care of soon... by Jan H, auf Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
