Album info

This kit is a joy to build. Before starting on this project, I build one of the kits from the dual combo OOB for practice (ref. my project here: scalemates.com/profi..ts&project=40637 ). Specifically, I wanted to get a hang of biplane rigging which I have not done well with during my past two biplane builds. I also wanted to test other techniques before embarking on what looked to be a challenging project.

I was fortunate to find the most complicated parts for the "stripped" conversion, namely the internal fuselage structure, engine and fuel tank, available on Shapeways as a 3D print from CADfish models. These parts are very detailed and seem well researched. Although their relative cost is considerable (I spent $49 for all three in early 2018 ), it's a small price to pay compared to the hours it would have taken to scratch-build the said components. Although very fragile (at least the fuselage frame is) and with rough(ish) surface texture, the 3D prints have sharp detail and paint easily.

Hope you enjoy!
