Marcel Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 In fact very easy to build, everything just fits. I made only two modifications: the windshield is from a piece of acetate foil and the cabane struts are made using Brasstrutz (I managed to bend the original ones). The rest is out of the box - plus Tamiya XF-11 paint. 59 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandoned Project Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Very impressive, especially the rigging and wire spoke wheels. All the more so in 72 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Wonderful! It could easily pass for 1/32 - actually, many of those don't show such nice detail and painting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Thank you very much guys for your kind words. Brasstrutz - unfortunately not available anymore, if I remember there was a thread here about the production termination. I bought it about 25 years ago at "Big H" in Colindale. Very useful stuff I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planebuilder62 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Dear Marcel  Great build. What rigging material did you use and where did the wire wheels come from?  regards Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gelo Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Excellent work! Really looks the part. That's how 72nd scale models should look like! Bravo! Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What rigging material did you use and where did the wire wheels come from?  regards Toby Thank you. The wheels are included in the kit and they were easy to make following a Polish website https://www.kfs-miniatures.com/1-72-potez-25-toe-special-hobby-budowa/ (the pictures are self-explanatory). Rigging is made using Uschi van der Rosten "Standard" material (I find Fine and Superfine OK for aerial wires but too thin for rigging). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
