dutchplanebuilder77 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hello everyone, A few months ago i started building the Shinden. I started with the engine block and provided with some extra details. When this was done i started on the cockpit. And finally the four big guns. scvrobeson, dodgem37, KiwiZac and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchplanebuilder77 Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Work on the Shinden continues quietly. I do run into a few challenges. not everthing fits equally well, and that is sometimes a pity. And sometimes very frustrating. But that is a part of the hobby. When installing the engine, trail fitting was more than nececarry. But in the end, everything is in place. The first part of the nose is also provided with a layer of paint, and than slighty reworked. Sorry for the messy photo work. I'll try to provide beter work the next time.

Uncarina Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Very nice work! I especially like the engine wiring and the subtle weathering on the nose piece. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchplanebuilder77 Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 The Shinden is ready. I'am done with this one. I'll be honest, it whasn't always easy. It is a insane model to build. If you grab it wrong, a part will break off somewhere. To drive you crazy. The main landing gear just fits into its holes. This had to be done by force, so that you hear the model cracking under your fingers. Nevertheless, I'am satisfied with the end result.

Dpgsbody55 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Despite the difficulties you encountered, your model turned out really well. And I agree with others as to how good your weathering is too. Nice one. Cheers, Michael dutchplanebuilder77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
