Frog DH60M conversion

[Orso]

I found five Frog/Novo bagged Gipsy Moth kits in a box so I decided to try an convert one into a "Metal Moth" Plastic strips was added to the fuselage and to the wing tips where I needed to move some ribs.

 

With some filler and sanding it get a bit smoother.

Gosh, that takes me back 43 years when I took the same path with a Novo kit. My start to the conversion was the same as yours. It was a favourite model of mine for years until it met its end in the early in the century. 

Best of luck with your build.

As I think that I secured decals for one of the green kits I added wings to it. The Frog kit has got a start for a raised spine.

 

I also started to work on the engine hood.

 

Now I need to do some work on the cockpit.

[Orso]

They start looking like planes with some wings on.

 

Very simple interiors were made.

 

For the Metal Moth a new landing gear has been started.
