Pin Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I adore obscure, unknown, weird looking planes. G-37 fits the picture perfectly. The idea was that a "carrier" plane would carry the load in different detachable pods - cargo, passenger, ambulance etc. The plane was built in 1933 and been in testing until 1936 http://all-aero.com/index.php/component/content/article/34-planes/21727-grokhovsky-g-37 The livery is quite complex, fortunately the kit provides paining masks: 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjwomack Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Perhaps it was way ahead of its time- can imagine it being a carrier for a pallet or pod system of cargo handling....Back to the Future time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 The build was stale for some while, I was really scared to start painting it as the scheme is maybe one of the most difficult to reproduce. Add corrugated skin. Besides, the masks provided with the kit have shrunk and no longer accurate so there is a lot of manual masking. Moving slowly, area by area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 There some things that usually frighten people but actually quite easy to do. One of such things are spoked wheels. It took me less than an hour to make a pair The most tricky thing is to install a spindle after first two pairs of spokes are drawn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Surely, this is THE most difficult scheme I have ever painted. A lot of curved shapes on corrugated skin. Add poor resin adhesion. The kit is supplied with masks but they are not of great help as they shrunk, either because of age or because of inappropriate storage. There is a decal for the tail star but I decided to mask and paint it too The twin guns in the kit are quite delicate, I added some etched parts from the vaults The plane is mostly ready, time to deal with cargo/passenger gondola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
