Orso Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I started on a couple of small planes. I thought that it would be a couple of quick builds that should be finished easily. But a short series kit is not always easy to build. The wings had no attachment points to help attach them to the body. Just a smooth surface on the wing and body. Well, that's not entirely true. The attachment point of the wing to the sprue was in the smooth surface that would be glued to the body. It was not a point attachment, but it was approx. 15 mm long so a smooth surface to glue against is not fun to fix. I drilled and installed some plastic rods to guide the mounting of the wings more easily. The fit wasn't the best. Lots of putty to get the undersides of the body smooth. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juhannussima Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Very nice kits. I've buid four of those Zlins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I'm soon to start a Zlin XIII in a GB from the same manufacturer, so hopefully I'll pick-up some hints from these builds. Taking notes already. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
