Zdenko Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi boys and girls, I started this project full of optimism. Model is decent and contain a lot of resin parts. Mising some stiren parts if you ask me. I made two aditional wals and wooden flor, some wires around and aditional electronic components. I had problems with photos depicting some parts of this plane, so I had to go on with some artistic freedom. Progress is fast and fun but its going pinfull to build all rods around plane. :( Regards Zdenko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erwin Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Looks good so far ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Fester Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Looks great Zdenko, interested to see how this one turns out. Really like the wood effect floor to the cockpit. I'm trying to work out the position of the two pilots, are they dual controls? One in an enclosed cockpit the other open to the elements with the noise of the engine behind your head..... hmm I wonder which I would choose! :D Keep posting the progress Zdenko.

Zdenko Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) Looks good so far ! Jep Doc. One open other inside. six men crew, and just four sits in front room. One in the tail on machine gun and I bet least one in central space near window. I cant be shure (lack of pictures). There's a good book about this plane but didn't order it jet. As far as I saw on pictures this model is incorect about controls. Front (inside) pilot seat is equiped with stick and ruder, outside one has wheel. Not included in this model so I mad one and hope I got dimensions right. Some progress.... I opend left window and right window and roof pannel..some cuting and hoping for best. And warning. body section is screwed (dont know better word) so tail don get in center and upright. I didt see that til I put wings on. I gues best would be to cut tail section off and glue it bach in proper position. But that's just painfull idea.... In model there are two diferent sets of engine plating. Wrong one (too big) with open ( I dont know name :D) and right one with closed. So I cut and glu a litle, sand a lot.... and couple of hours later...tadaaa....

Ranger74 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Great looking "aluminum laquer/dope" finish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zdenko Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 This is my fastest GB project so far. It shows I had more than a wek off. Hope You'll like this one. Model is good but not for beginers. Some things are not right dimensions, some aren't included. After model is closed you cant see a lot of interior. Plans are terible so you need photos....photos are rare. :) Decals are decent. OOB , even there's a lot of resin parts, you can make a basic model. So you have to build a lot of parts from scratch. I think I'm finished. maybe some sugestions what else I have to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I-16 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Beautiful model. I love the forest of struts on some of these older sea-planes. Nice job. CH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zdenko Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 jep and it has swept wings so you can put plane in ship hangar. It would be fun to build one like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Fester Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Zdenko........Wow..... That is a stunning piece of work there, well done. Let me know if I can use these photos for the website gallery and thanks for taking part. Doc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

erwin Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 THis must be a very difficult model to build with all those struts. It turned out SUPER ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zdenko Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Jes it was for me. I think exeprienced modelers would just smile at me. :D Problem is that struts aren't right size. Some are some not. I wish I have more hands. :D But even that is fun in some strange way. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
