Duo Discus sailplane completed

[kensar]

I'm in with Revell's Duo Discus sailplane.  This will complete my hat trick of Revell sailplanes in 1/32 scale.

I will be depicting the plane in flight with two aboard.  The figures are from Immense Miniatures and adapted for this use.

 

I built an LS-8 previously and used an IM figure for it.  It worked well, so I'm repeating here with two figures this time.

 

 

I'll be making a Swiss livery to match my other two.

 

I'm having to re-pose the figures, altering every joint to make it fit.

 

 

 

 

More updates soon.

Lovely!

I love work like this. Altering figures to fit

will be a great addition

[chrish]

Very nicely done work!

[themongoose]

Good stuff here! I love pilots. Those are a good add you’re doing there, especially all the work posing them.

[kensar]

A small update.  Not much done recently due to other priorities.

Still fitting in the second figure.  Similar alterations were done.

 

 

 

You don't want to know what I had to do to his feet to get him in there!

 

 

[RLWP]

Never mind his feet - you've sawn the man in half!!

 

Good to see you modelling again, Ken

The classic magician's trick gone wrong.

With plenty of bench time recently, I got my guys back together through the miracle of modern adhesive chemistry.

 

 

 

 

Should be closing the fuselage up soon.

 

[denders]

That is looking very nice!

[KiwiZac]

They look fantastic!!

[kensar]

The guys are neatly packed within the cockpit.

 

 

 

The wings and T tail were just 7 parts.

And now the canopy has been taped and the white primer applied.

 

 

Next will be subtly highlighting some panel lines and then gloss white paint.

Figures look good, Ken!

Looks grand! They look good buttoned up

[geedubelyer]

Smashing effort so far. 

The addition of the figures really brings this sailplane to life and you've done a super job of creating lifelike and dynamic poses. 

 

Cheers.

Maru - did that left leg  get in the way when you closed up the fuselage?

 

No, I ground the outside of the foot to provide enough clearance and the leg needed to be jutting out like that.  Test fitting is necessary!

I have just put on the glossy white coat of paint, so next is decaling.  I will make a Swiss livery, to match my other two Revel gliders.
