Dukie99 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 This is my entry to the Jurassic Plastic GB. The venerable Hasegawa Storch. I am using the Indochina rebox but it is the same plastic as the initial release only with new decals. I will add the Eduard pe set to detail the cockpit and will go for a very colorful bird in Swiss service during WWII. It will for sure add a splash of color in my collection of airplane and armor. Box shot and pictures of the aftermarket I will use. I have the eduard mask and some resin wheels on order with Hannants but I will get started right away. I am looking forward to a fun GB.

Out2gtcha Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Looking forward to this one! I have all the same AM, and some I think I may have even forgotten about. I really like the Storch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Love the Storch, so well named! It's one of those beautiful-ugly aeroplanes but should look fantastic in that scheme David.

Dukie99 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Some progress: Dryfitting the tubular cockpit frame in the fuselage and with the glasshouse taped Rear bulkhead detailed with the Eduard photoetch Tubular frame with the rudder from the eduard set: the two fuselage side with the eduard photoetch. I still have to add a few pieces of etch but otherwise I should be able to paint the cockpit (in RLM 2) over the week-end. Thank you for following this build.

Dukie99 Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Made good progress on the cockpit last week. It is painted and I just applied a coat of future just after taking the pictures so that tomorrow I can add a light wash over the seatbelts, add some airscale placards before sealing with matt varnish and I can then close the fuselage. In the pictures below the cockpit is just dry fitted and I will glue it only after the above steps are done but as you can see it fits very well. The HGW seatbelts are great (but fiddly) and definitely add to a pretty bare cockpit even with all Eduard etch. I am enjoying this GB and the sheer diversity of the kits being built. I picked the Storch because it was in the stash and I have this cool Swiss scheme, but the kit I would really like to do for this GB is the Revell Harrier which came out in 1972. I remember building it with my dad and being so excited with the huge sheet of decals that I ended up using both the RAF roundels and US stars and bars. I loved it it was so colorful. Never been able to find one in Europe at a reasonable price. Enough nostalgia, on to the pictures: Till next time, thank you for following this build, David Shaka HI, Hubert Boillot, rafju and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
