Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin

Hallo

Yesterday I had a nightmare with my new ICM Ju-88 kit. All wrong to the outmost and awful engineered. After this shock, I took a deep breath and considered what to do next!

 

 

I decided to take any Wing Nut Wing in my shelf. I have enough at my storage, including a Gotha, which I may get at my birthday, as far as my wife keeps her promise.

So it will be the Dolphin.

Nice kit, nice working and today I did plastic work.

Tomorrow I have to spray. I am not sure about doing the internal rigging or not.

I am little afraid to destroy or weaken the framework when drilling 0,3 mm.

Well, for spraying I want to make masks and to try to avoid decals. At least for roundels.

We will see.

Today was spraying & brush painting.

Tomorrow the instruments, seat belt and assembly of the fuselage.

Nice to build. No headache at all.

Happy modelling

Hallo

Now, the fuselage is assembled. Oh, I was not used anymore to such a tight nd precise fitting. Too long away from WNW kits.

Some miss alignment happened, but actually everything under control.

The inner rigging I left out.

The next steps are drilling for rigging and actuating the control surfaces.

We will see.

Happy modelling
