Zero77 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) The numbers are not definitive building parts: PUR - 75, clear PUR-1,wood - 32, etched parts - 36, textile belts -4 ... :-). Wow, so the wood alike parts on the picture are actual wood ! That would be the first time i see real wood in a kit. Great idea ! Given the lenght of the wing struts, are they metal reinforced?

marty-ma Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Cart underneath the aircraft is really made of wood. Parts will be prepared by firing a laser. All struts are reinforced by steel wires.Sorry for the bad English translator using the PC ... Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Wow, so the wood alike parts on the picture are actual wood ! That would be the first time i see real wood in a kit. Great idea ! That is an interesting statement, especially for us old timers. When I started making models during WW2 the ONLY material we had to use was wood.

Tnarg Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 This is certainly on my list. Not exactly like the Lohner-Macchi earliest versions, but this looks amazing. Tnarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
