After taking on a couple of non-LSP builds (the Airfix 1/48 Anson and Eduard 1/72 Z-37), it's time to return to the land of Large Scale Planes. I decided that this IAR would be next on my list of semi-obscure aircraft to build, and it even has a connection to my last one. The IAR-80 actually shares its rear fuselage with the PZL P.24, which is of course the upgraded version of the P.11 that I built on here last year. The first step so far has been a big one, and that's riveting the airframe. The Azur kit has nice surface detail, but I thought this would be a great test-bed for riveting. So I grabbed the Element tape and the Galaxy rivet wheels, and got to work. I've so far finished the fuselage from the cockpit back, the upper wings, and the tail surfaces. The lower wing and front of the fuselage are left, and those have some really complex shapes I'll have to figure out. Enough rambling from me, here's the beginning of the project. Hopefully it's a good summer project for me before school returns in August. Matt

Here's my Ar 196 finally completed. You may recall the WIP thread here. http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=53170&hl= I finished the acual aircraft a little while ago, and then set abut looking for a base. I found a picture frame minus its glass in the "reduced" section of one of our local DIY stores, and used a product from Woodland Scenics called "Realistic Water". This takes time as if you pour anything other than a thin layer at a time it takes forever to dry! I've also yet to work out how to make realistic waves, so I opted for a flat calm day in Odessa! Why Odessa? It's where the actual subject may have been based - had it actually entered service - with Escadrila 102 of the Royal Romanian Air Force. In fact, Romania ordered 50 of these, but most were still in their delivery crates by the time Romania changed sides; however, I do like the scheme, as it may have looked. Kit by Revell, decals by Kora, seat belts by HGW and float rigging with EZ Line, all in 1:32 scale. Thanks for looking, feedback welcome, and Happy New Year.
