Pinback Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hi Further to @bigbadbadge 's lovely Pawnee here is one straight from the KP box. As Chris has said, the kit is missing a few things including additional bracing on the wing struts. Pinback 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hi Pinback Thanks for the mention, this looks lovely great work, nice scheme too, I did wonder what schemes were in the Australian boxing. It is great to see another one too. How did you get on with the assembly? Thanks for sharing. Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each has two pins with two adjacent holes on the fuselage. How difficult is that? Must have had a senior moment as it took me an age to sort and to get the dihedral right.

Pinback Ahh yes, I glued mine on and then had to quickly adjust to get the dihedral correct and then shorten the struts accordingly, was a bit of a so and so.

TheyJammedKenny! Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Really, really nice how you've posed this on a grass layout, evocative but understated. Your plane came out beautifully! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Excellent build! I see a plane like this and I automatically think "crop duster". However I see this one is a glider tug and operates from an airfield not all that far from where I live! That gets added points from me (for whatever that's worth). 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks The instructions baffled me a bit there. 6 hours ago, kapam said: and operates from an airfield not all that far from where I live! It must be just a quick sprint up the M1 for you kapam (I aim to get to the air museum sooner rather than later) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks The instructions baffled me a bit there. Glad it helped. Ahh yes they weren't the clearest on the undercarriage, in fact one of the bits on each side looked back to front to me initially.

I've been there twice now and it is the best $20 (entry fee) I've spent in a long, long while. You won't be disappointed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
