Dean Whiston Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I’m going to throw my hat in the ring with this one that’s been in the stash a while not decided on markings yet but the big orange fun bus on the box art does appeal for some reason 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Welcome to the Group Build, Dean. It will be really interesting to see this early version of the F-VII, rather than the later tri-motor Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Whiston Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’ve made a start - I think even with less than 20 parts this is going to be a challenge - everything so far has required considerable cleaning up - having glued the wing together you can just see the large gap between the halves that’s going be fun to fill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmm Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 This looks interesting. I’ve often wondered about this kit. Will be following your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Whiston Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 Wing joint cleaned up just a bit of rescribing to do - also made a start on the interior with the cockpit and added the side glazing - a lot of cleaning up and sanding on this one but I think it will be ok in the end 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 It's certainly looking nice and neat now that you've tidied everything up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Oh, nice! This kit keeps beckoning me at one of the LHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Whiston Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Interior done - decent cockpit including etch controls - completely empty passenger compartment even though it’s more visible when the fuselage is closed up 🤪 interior floor, bulkhead and seats scratched out of plastic card and rod - looks ok fuselage closed up and clamped shut rescribing of the wing is turning out to be more than planned 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Great progress - you must be dreaming of seats and panel lines, but the detail is worth the effort! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
