JWM Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 In their (Dekno) 1/72 kit of Spartan 7W there are decals for Spanish Civil War (both sides) as well. One can expect them here as well. J-W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopperhed Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Does it have clear parts? I don't see them (maybe because they are clear I know.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Those 3D printed parts look excellent. I hope Dekno re-releases a lot of their older kits using this new technology. They have a great range of subject matter that no other manufacturer touches, plus they have a large range of Spanish Civil War stuff too. Count me in and I look forward to their future releases. Good luck Dekno! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Dekno! Seconded - I for one would love to see the following re-done in 1/48: Boeing Model 200 Monomail Stearman - Northrop Alpha 4 & 4A Northrop Y1C-19 Alpha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't resist trying to dry fit some of these impressive 3D printed parts just a few minutes ago. The fuselage halves were just taped together with scotch tape, I will try it again with the interior later, just was curious if there would be any warpage...........there isn't any, I wonder how the wings would fit? The wings are printed in left and right halves, and fit nicely in all areas except the very bottom rear. V.P. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what kind of additional info you are looking for. Clear parts are separate windows made from transparent resin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, I would expect a clear demonstration photo with the clear parts in place, especially considering the not inconsiderable 57 Pounds asking price... In other words, nothing is shown of what makes or break the basic quality of the model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange: I wondered that too, but all I can see is the cabin windows; I can't see anything at all showing windscreens.

It's a given with his kits that you're going to have to replace the transparent parts (along with most of the crude detail parts), although the major airframe parts are quite good. Definitely not 'shake and bake', but something you're going to have to work at for a top-class result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
