pabbi Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 the elevator and tail did not have any position pins so getting them together was difficult, and the floats connectors needed super glue and no matter what mentality...... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabbi Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 My fastest ever build since returning to this hobby, 11 hours and also is my worst build The side windows did not fit, and the cockpit window also, and I did brake the the cockpit window. Some white glue to fix this. I really like the paint scheme and this kit really need 2 or 3 week build time because of bad fit, but could be build into to a really nice example . The connector to the float really need a lot of time with drilling and improvement to the spurs. The windows need to be put in at early stages with care. But it was fun. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
