elric Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Sweet! I don't think I've seen this kit built, before. Excellent job! John Thanks John, I looked on the box & instructions, there is not a date on them anywhere so do not know how old this kit is maybe someone reading this might chip in with it. I have had it for about 7 years, tried to build it 3 years ago & gave up did not matter how I cleaned the resin or what glue I used, I could not get anything to stick, so in my frustration & for the only time ever I threw the thing across the room. Being rather brittle resin the wings & tail snapped & cowling cracked, I put it back in the box & forgot about it until I came across the article I mentioned earlier. Bob.

elric Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 That's really cool and very eye catching. Well done Cheers Joe, I had no decals that would fit so made home made masks for the red Squares & sunburst + YR-PAX. home made decals for the Olympic rings & bucker jungmeister wording on cowl,fuselage & tail. notice on tail pic the thickness of the home made decal sheet even after a few coats of micro sol although I think I missed it with the laqeur, will blow over it again.

elric Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Bob, She is very Gorgeous. Looks pristine from here. AWESOME.... Ah!!! the luxury of photography & lighting, the home made paint masks were not perfect & there are some tatty areas to be seen if you could look closely. Thanks for your comment, must try using those smileys sometime, there great. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 A sweet looking build Bob, kudos to you for pushing through and finishing it. I have wanted to build this model for a long time, but the reviews I have about about the actual building of it has always scared me away from it. What I wouldn't give to have your build sitting in MY display case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I wouldn't give to have your build sitting in MY display case! Thanks Frank, As I said only 27 parts, so what could go wrong Ha!, finally over come 3 years of fear. I have only ever built 3 biplanes so that makes it about one every 10 years?. Bob. Edited September 7, 2013 by elric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
