dolphin38 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Inspired by my trip to the Yeovilton Air Day in 2018 this is my latest attempt the 1/72 Sova M Dassault Falcon 50 Surmar, typical short run kit lots of filling, the interior is bare except for the cockpit so I scratchbuilt the area around the observers positions to fill the area around the observation windows, the rest of the windows were blanked off as these aircraft seem to fly with blinds drawn down alot of the time. The surface detail is very nice and the decals are very thin which means the walkway lines on the wings are best cut to shorter lengths to prevent them folding over on themselves.

Its not a simple throw together kit, the wing halves need a lot of thinning down and there is a fairly large gap between the wing to fuselage join, lots of sanding needed on the mating surfaces , the decals are tricky once you lay them down they are pretty hard to move if they are not in the correct position and you definately need to shorten the wing walkway markings to make them more manageable but if you have any experience with limited run kits you should be fine and probably make a better effort than I managed.

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 NIce work Willy! I have a couple of the Amodel issue of this kit. Were the servers windows included in this issue or did you scratch build those? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vingtor Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Very nice model, Willy! I like these French jets. I really hope that Amodel would do a kit of the Dassault Falcon 20 as well. Nils 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
