Wow. How big is that monster? Very good skills in scratch building, amazing. Regards,Laz

Hello, Nice job up to now. I would recommend Saggin' Dragon. I have made it back in the 90's from Airfix in 1/72. Will you rescribe the panel lines after the painting? Interesting technique. Regards, Laz

Hello Mario, Set is in the scale of 1/48, the 1/72 set was very tiny. Maybe I am wrong but Sea Dragon seems to have more pronounced rivets on its surface. I have 26 metres to use,what I like especially is that there are different patterns on the sheet (double paralell rows and double rows with transverse pitch). Regards,Laz

Hello gentlemen, In my last post I was talking about rivet replacement. I was completely wrong. I planned to use some HGW rivet sets to replace lost surface detail after sanding but those rivets can be used AFTER Surfacer with some Mark Softer. So I used all PE components plus I put some self made styrene details to the fuselage. Some pictures about current status. Tail with some details: Engines: Regards,Laz

Of course I will follow. Regards,Laz

Hello Juan, You have made a good progress. Did the resin cone make the difference? I am a big fan of resin things but to be honest I am not sure sometimes that the effort is really worth to change the original shapes. Keep the pictures coming. Regards,Laz -
Hello gentlemen, Mario, Thank you for your interest in the build. About the Eduard interior set problems: 1. Overhead panels are oversized, they will block the proper alignment of the windshield with the fuselage. Explanation: PE parts 67a/67b and 66 are looking different in reality then on the instructions. The end of panels (marked with red triangles) are sticking out with 2-3 mms compared to the edge of the transparent first section of the kit (canopy). That would equal a same sized gap on the top of the fuselage... As a solution, on the sides I moved t

Hello gentlemen, Fuselage is closed, finally I maneged to close it without huge gaps, however there were small misalignments everywhere (all eliminated with sanding). I am happy that minimum ammount of puttying is waiting for me. As I supposed not much can be seen from the internal details. I am planning to finish the helicopter in storage position, with folded tail rotor. Size is still HUGE. Some WARNING for those who are planning to use Eduard interior set: 1. Overhead panels are oversized, they will block the prop

Wow. Nice engineering,well done. Regards,Laz

Hello gentlemen, Thank you for your replies, appreciated. I am mating the main parts to close the fuselage. Left side with flooring together: With inserted roofing: I don't know what will be seen at the end from internal stuff but at least there will be something. Regards,Laz

Very nice. I will never be dare enough to build a WWI airplane. That is awesome, congratulations. Laz

Hello gentlemen, Spending almost 6 years on the shelf of doom I decided to resurrect and finish the build. This beast ate my mojo however I did it to myself... In the last few days I did the internal detailing on the fuselage halves. Sidewalls after the paint job (no varnish is applied yet). I consider all main parts for the internal detailing done. IMHO infinite number of hours could be spent to continue the detailing...These 4 parts contain approx 650 pieces of etched parts/wires/plastic pieces. Constructive criticism i
