I suppose I'd better build one of these dang things now Excellent work, Alistair, the HB scheme is really unusual and eye-catching. The blooming struts look eye-boggling to put together, though Great result!!! Cheers, Mark 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about the struts for some time and eventually put the main wing ones in place after that it was fairly straight forward. You'll see when you do yours.

dnl42 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Excellent work on this! I wish I had known about this scheme; I won the Tamiya 1/48 kit in a raffle and gave it away due to lack of interest in the kit markings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit it was the markings that caught my eye and made me buy it in the first place. Cheers, Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandie Dinmont Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I have a minor complaint if I may. Since this build began, I have been anticipating a climax to this tale of struttery against the odds, victory snatched from the jaws of defeat when all seemed lost, and a searing contest of man against polystyrene. Instead, what do we get? “Then I put the wings and other bits on”. A trifle anti-climatic don’t you think? I have a similar complaint about your Lysander. Next time, do you think you could give some slight indication that this stuff poses at least a minor challenge and give us mere mortals a little hope? 🙂 Oh, and it goes without saying (but I will anyway), fine fine work. One for front and centre in the old display cabinet! Craig. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being completely honest "I got lucky" In placing the main struts on to get the wings in position everything else just kind of fell into place. The way the wings fit once they're set the Storch sits very happily upside down and makes positioning the other struts and landing gear really easy. It was literally a work of about 20 minutes. If I can do this then anyone can. Thanks so much for your kind comment. Cheers, Alistair 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
