Putty Animal Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Cor!!! What a rip off.  💩 This thing looks nothing like what I imagined. Nothing fits. The outlines are rubbish. There's no decals or even any instructions to speak of. No interior, and surface detail is non-existent. Multimedia... Pfft!  On the plus side, there's no flash visible and I should have plenty of parts left over. Perhaps it will scrub up alright with a bit of extra work?  Edited July 22, 2022 by Putty Animal 7 1 35 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2996 Victor Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I'll be following closely: I've got some parts that look like that, and I'm keen to see how best to make them fit together..... Â Cheers, Mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Australia, it's a little vague you got a continent to hide in, show your face! Think you are going to have to big up and show the model/drawings or at least something to support you moan at the top f the page. As Martin says, nutters, fruit cakes and fruit and nut cakes abound here, he's right. We're all with you, now get on with it.

Just the galaxy… I’m hoping it’s metaphorical fruitcake as I can’t eat the real thing anymore   That kit is starting to look dangerously like some kind of model thingy. I’ll go for the obvious and say a DH2 but I’m sure it’s not. Hopefully one of the more interesting pushers of WWI. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tail-Dragon Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 As Michelangelo supposedly said about the statue of David, "Start with a block of marble, and remove anything that doesn't look like David" You have a nice block of marble so far! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Please be careful with that kit, I had one and it came out nothing like a DH2   😲  You will need to keep a very tight control of the modelling knife.  Looking forward to this immensely. 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackroadkill Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Is that the weird naval box-kite jobby that was towed behind a ship to observe fall of shot and spot enemy ships below the deck-level horizon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
