DrDave Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 All finished. A quick and very pleasant build. I had no references at all apart from some google pictures. Very reminiscent of a good quality special hobby kit. These are the kit decals. Alclad airframe aluminium is the main finish. I will definitely do another. Some after market would really improve it. I used a WNW wooden prop as the kit prop and spinner are awful. That's not strictly right for a 500, just a 501. I used a spare ring site and copper pipe for the exhaust. The radiator bath is PE separate slats and was a bit of a pain. A resin nose cone and radiator bath and some cockpit extra details such as throttle quadrant would add a lot. There's no Pitot in the kit either. Well done to Dorawings on a lovely first foray into 1/32 rafju, LSP_K2, billwinkes and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Now there's a different looking plane, kind of attractive/ugly. Well done Dora Wings as you say Dave for doing such an unusual subject, let's hope they sell loads. You've made an excellent job of the build and finish as usual.

quang Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 What a fantastic, fast build, DrDave! The gaunt, insect-like lines and the shroud of mystery which seems to engulf this aircraft make it an ideal candidate for a what-if project. Cheers, Quang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
