baffozac Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Relics of Ro-37 at Kabul Airport. There is a lot of differences beetween the Ro-37 and the Ro-43, not only the floats. Stefano, before I started this scratch, I asked to Special Hobby if they had planned to do this kit as they did in 1/48. I always wait their answer.......I hope to finish mine before someone else does. Ciao !!!!

baffozac Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hi Stefano, I retain your proposal, many thanks. I have dozens of close-up pictures made before (better) and after restoring like this : The flight manual is available on the web and very helpful as the book Ali d'Italia 12 Ro 43/44. The french magazine Cocardes 12 has a lot of close-up pictures in the article of my friend Patrice Roman (Pavla in 1/72) HerculesPA_2, Out2gtcha and sandokan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baffozac Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 The windscreen is glued and the seal with the fuselage made with 0,13 plastic card and Milliput, but before the windows have been protected with Bare Metal. Archer rivets are used by strips or individually like on the canopy and the karman where I used a small ruler graduated with a Rosie. Now, I have to protect them with a light coat of primer.

baffozac Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 With a light coat of AK758 primer the wavy effect appears better. The central part of the upper wing under construction. More stiffeners are needed. Steel rods are used for a good centring. Now, I can drill. The four holes will be expand depending on the size of the screws or pins.
