This is my boys second favorite airplane at the AirZoo and my all time favorite aircraft. I figured I can put one together to see how it fits and what it needs, then I can use the other two to pull together the best parts to make a great kit.
This needs a LOT of work. I want to base my final model on the plane at the AirZoo so some serious modifications are required. Here are a couple of the areas that I am fixing... this is still the first kit so I am doing a lot of playing around to figure out what works and what doesn't.
I will probably need smaller tubing here and will try to flatten the tubes first. I forgot to aneal the brass and I think that might help next time.
Again I will need smaller tubing and better placement. I followed the model and not my photos on this one
I have some photos of the wheel wells, but they need so much work I won't bother to post them this time around. This has been an adventure in fill and sand, fill and sand. I am working on the engines now, but am thinking about just finishing this off to see how the rest fits together.
Besides; I want to start practicing my woodgrain painting...
