Dave_R Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi All, The postie arrived with this last week. I've often looked at the "Weekend Edition" and thought hah - yeah right! weekend? I don't think so. Well I suppose I'll find out if I can do one in a weekend. I'm going to make it easier by going with the single colour scheme. Plus there's number of photos of Weiss dreiundvierzig online and they show a nice clean semi-gloss machine with little weathering required and best of all hardly any stencils. Sprue shots:- I bought some PE seat belts as well - decal ones are a bit rubbish. Roll on Saturday. Dave. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 As Steve said - that's an ambitious choice!! Great idea though! It does say 'weekend' on the box so it must be doable! 🤞 Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi All, I'm ready to go. First job - the cockpit. Dave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi All, The cockpit's done. It's taken a bit longer than I planned, but not too bad. Dave. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi All, OK, day 1 progress. I had hoped to have got as far as priming it by now but everything has taken just a bit longer than I thought it would. So that's it for today and hopefully with a bit of luck the painting will be problem free tomorrow. Dave. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi All, Day 2. I need to do a bit of cleaning up, then primer. Dave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Wow I couldn't get the cockpit to look like that if I used the whole 24 hours on that alone ! Good luck with the rest of the build Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi All, Progress so far. Primed. ...and painted. There's quite a bit to do, so fingers crossed. Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi All, Here's the last update before the end. Decals, breaky-off bits and whatever else I have time for to do. Dave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 That really is impressive progress in such a short time! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi All, OK, time's up. It would have been nice to add a few finishing touches - but basically it's done. So it's possible to do a Eduard "Weekend Edition" in a weekend. Now I need food and a little lie down. Dave. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
