And your Build is coming alone So Impressively. Looking great. One of MY favorites. Keep it coming. Thanks! The first part was accomplished effortlessly. The model building is something altogether different... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

fjaweijfopi4j48 38,532 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 The not very entertaining cycle of priming, correcting blemishes, re-priming, ensues. Parts for the Ansaldo are there too: 7 Link to post Share on other sites
bigbadbadge 7,136 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Great idea re the wing extensions for the second model whist still fresh. Good to see the primer going on , you will have these done in no time now. Great work Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites
fjaweijfopi4j48 38,532 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 The wing modification approach for the second model works really well, much better than the block sanding. It requires careful measuring, cutting and aligning, but ends up being much faster and less brutish regarding physical exertion (i.e. sanding): 6 Link to post Share on other sites
fjaweijfopi4j48 38,532 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 The "lids" are glued on. Some sanding and minor puttying and tiding-up may ensue, but it seems we got this one done: 7 Link to post Share on other sites
fjaweijfopi4j48 38,532 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 The fuselage parts are washed previous to interior detailing, painting and closing the deck. The instrument panel provided in the kit looks completely spurious and most likely was used by Omega in some modern plane kit. It is also oversized: 6 Link to post Share on other sites

fjaweijfopi4j48 38,532 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 The strut placement is modified, and the locations of two pipes (that run to the engine) are drilled on the center panel: The ribbing and scalloping is reproduced. Only the lower wings in both kits have a sort of porous surface, that doesn't disappear with washing, priming or sanding: Another priming session is held: Who said modeling is not fun? Priming and filling and sanding and re-priming... soooo entertaining! 7 Link to post Share on other sites

fjaweijfopi4j48 38,532 Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 The interior parts for both models are readied. Many were scratched as the kit details are very poor: Several locations are drilled for the later addition of details like fuel system-related items and aileron horns and linkages: 6 Link to post Share on other sites
alt-92 3,263 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Lovely internal greeblies Moa. I'm trying to decipher the manufacturer of the turnbuckles and control horns I see in the top left corner, they look like a useful addition to the arsenal. Perhaps you can spare my eyesight and elucidate us? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
