thierry laurent Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Nothing major but many small details can be improved or corrected: https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=2772 Hth RBrown and Gary Needham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Needham Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Excellent review Thierry thank you. All i can add is that it is absolutely essential to make sure there is not so much as a coat of paint where the wing slides into the fuselage as a number of people have experienced fit issues here by the wings then not lining up correctly and so, causing later issues with the placement and fit of wing and cabane struts. A lovely kit but do take your time with it. Gary Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Great kit. Ditto on sliding in the wings. I had so much difficulty, particularly presumably from paint, that I had to do some trimming of the spar thingees. Also…. The kit spinner is atrocious. You’ll find the right shape on a Roden kit.

LSP_Ron Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I've built two. Ditto on no paint on the bulk heads to fuse joints or the fuse won't seal up. I also had minor problems with the lower wings assembling with some anhedral that split the lower fuse halve joint when mounting the upper wing. europapete and Gazzas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
