sandbagger Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Hi all,Here's my latest 1:32 scale model, the 11th from my stash.It's the Planet Model DFW T28 'Floh' (Flea) and is my first resin kit build. I felt the need to correct or modify quite a lot during the build and it's all covered in the build log, along with a brief aircraft history. The build log can be viewed or downloaded from here: http://igavh2.xara.hosting/index.htm The basic colour scheme for this aircraft was very light and lacking in character. Although as a prototype only it wouldn't have flown much, I decided to 'weather' it up more like an operational aircraft. I also animated the flying control surfaces, again to 'liven' it up. There is very little data and only a few photo's of this aircraft, but one shows a civilian figure sat on the starboard lower wing and who could have been one of the two senior designers, so I adapted a figure from MiniArt and also added a mechanic from Model Kasten. The rigging is 0.12 mm mono-filament with 'GasPatch' turnbuckles. I'm now working on the MicroMir Fokker E.V with Aviattic lozenge decals, Roden engine and Pheon decal markings.

Bill Cross Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 That is simultaneously one butt-ugly plane and a riveting subject matter that we don't ever see built. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Well done! I love the finish. That is an excellent build of what probably is one of the ugliest planes Ive seen. Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 That's pretty neat. I don't think I've seen one of these built yet. Well done Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
