RevDWC Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 A quick trip to my LHS this morning secured this kit. I've been promising myself I'd get one for a while, and after reading how simple the kit is, figured it would be a good entry for a blitzbuild. All the sprues are washed, and my painting booth is set up nearby. I'll be doing a OOB build using the Great Escape time option. Cheers, Justin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaceAddict Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 What a cool looking plane! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDWC Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Thanks Race Addict. It was a pre-war design, developed from an earlier biplane. I've made a bit of progress, getting a lot of parts off the sprues, cleaned up and primed. One paint scheme has a red tail, so that was a great excuse to break out the blitzbuild favourite pink Tamiya primer. 2 hours in so far, and next move is to sort out a lot of the fiddly bits so I'm not panicking later in the build.

RevDWC Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Time to take a break. Happy enough with progress for 4.5 hrs. Cheers Justin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I like the box it comes in, that's a nice design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Pink primer - always a blitzbuild favourite - it looks like you are making good progress with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevDWC Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Progress as been a bit slow, but it's looking a bit more like a plane now. There was quite a step between the lower wing and fuselage, so I've slapped some PPP in there and hit it with the primer to guage my progress. One more small wipe will do it I think. The thumb print will be sanded off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDWC Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 I promptly picked my tools and carried on after that last pic, so let's call this one the finish for today. I'm happy enough with the lower wing joint now, so just some more assembly, painting, and decals tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDWC Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Back to it after a muddled morning. By my calculations I have 10 hours to go, but hope to be done before midnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDWC Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Sorry to say, but I've had to put this one back into it's box to be dealt with later. Paint issues, then I dropped my airbrush while cleaning it, bending the needle. Ill let it dry, sand it back another day and repaint it. Thanks to Enzo for hosting this, and everyone for the support, Justin. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Ouch! That's too bad, I hope you'll be able to deal with this at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few months in the penalty box then I'll look at it again. I'm thinking I might drag a couple of previously stalled builds out of their boxes and shuffle over to the KUTA area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of those boxes too and was thinking the same 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
