72modeler Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 One of the very best builds of a shark fin Fort I have seen- loved the choice of colors and the tribute to the crew. Looks like you dealt with the dihedral issues of the Academy kit very well! Beautiful model! 👍 Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i had to adress the dihedral issue by inserting some plastic card to get it better. cheers Jes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
