TGC Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) This is the first aircraft model kit that I have completed since I was a kid. I normally do ship models. Lots of mistakes and errors but had loads of fun doing it. Built straight out of the box. But added some paper surgical tape to the wings, tailplane and fuselage to try and create a more authentic finish that more closely resembles linen. Also scratchbuilt propeller from laminated 0.5mm pear veneer. Rigging made from elastic thread with turnbuckles from 0.1mm wire with 0.5mm steel tubes. The case is a $7 candle holder from Kmart. Model is suspended by elastic thread glued to inside of case with CA. Edited November 14, 2022 by TGC Photos added 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

europapete Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) That is a really cool idea for display! Well done! The model itself is very nicely made, great crossover skills 👍 Regards, Pete in RI. ps, I think the pilot fell out at the top of the last loop. Maybe you can paint up a figure and glue him hanging on to the tailskid. ALA "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" movie. I'll get my coat.

TonyOD Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 That's a lovely build, and beautifully presented! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Beautiful build! The glass case is very elegant, but isn't the whole set-up just a wee bit illogical? Did the pilot run out of fuel, and had to leave the plane mid air? 🤔 Kind regards, Joachim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
