Old Dog Flying Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 As far as the top windows were concerned, you had to really model one particular aircraft in 1:1 scale to get it right as changes were made on the assembly line. CF-DCY did not have upper windows yet the one that I had a partnership (for a very short while) did Windows were an option in the top from what I can gather from the history of the thing.

Phantom2 Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Hi all! Well, I did start on this one, but I did´nt came far before the GB ended as I´m a sooo slow builder…. Revell´s thin and flimsy box is utterly worthless and protects nothing better then an envelope of paper would! Despite this the contents had managed to survive, except the windscreen! Instructions are as usually printed on Revell´s low-cost toilet paper, but they do their job alright. The Decals are very nice and gives you options for two aircraft; PH-PDL – White with Red trim (The one on the boxart) Or… HB-PQJ – Chrome Yellow fuselage with white wings and floats. I choose HB-PQJ for this build. Unfortunatley the windscreen did´nt survive but had a crack right trough, probably a victim of the very well-filled but unprotective envelope (”box”). Can´t say enough how I HATE this type of packaging! Oh, well, I have started the build with the interior. The white plastic makes my camera go wild, but here are some pics; The side panels and the ”cage”…. Wings, Floats, engine and interior just falls together…. More work on the ”cage”…. I panted the interior with satin black (Hu85)… …and Matt black (Hu33). The engine painted with Alclad Steel and a wash with my usual mix of oil-paint and white spirit. The landing gears glued in the floats… More to come soon…. Cheers! Stefan Edited November 24, 2018 by Phantom2 Out2gtcha and KiwiZac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
