jaxngee Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) An earlier build sadly this pic has outlived the model, but still one of my favourite aircraft If any of you still have this kit you'll know that the canopy is very fiddly with its metal frame-I abandoned it and used an after market canopy from a 1/48th HIEN -but don't tell anyone...

Out2gtcha Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Great looking model man. The paint work and delicate canopy really look good. Out of curiosity, what caused the Macchi's demise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxngee Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 hi thanks for the comments, I think a combination of the weight of the model (weakened the soft undercarriage) and not adequate storage led to bits of it taking a holiday from each other until I finally gave up on it-I still have the very nervous pilot! and at least 4 PCM 202s waiting in line to be built. I dont have adequate space to store/display stuff as I have an office of 6 feet square which i also work as an illustrator from, so there a stack of kits, a mac , a pc and all the man cave stuff and the latest build usually sits on top of my printer until i buy a box to store it, a new office is under way though and I should have space to treat them nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) That's a really nice build of one of my favourite subjects, it's a shame it's now defunct. Cheers Dennis Edited May 23, 2013 by dennismcc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
