Title: Salmson 2a2//Gaspatch//1:48
Post by: KrzysiekK on May 05, 2020, 07:13:35 PM: Good Day
I would like to focus on this one, which seems to be quite promising in terms of quality and detailing
So far, so good

Post by: smperry on May 06, 2020, 02:19:16 AM: I have been on the fence as I want a Salmson 2A2 in USAAS markings, but can't decide which kit, WnW or Gaspatch. K, your build photos of the interior have knocked me clean off the fence and squarely on the Gaspatch side. I will be ordering one soon. It goes without saying I will be following your build closely for tips and tricks to use.

Post by: Bughunter on May 06, 2020, 03:20:40 AM: Oh, K is creating a template to follow in my own build. Looks nice, I'm in!
Which kit do you build? I have the "Mid Type" in stash and looked last weekend into the box. The content is nice, with all the options, PE, decals and laser cut cardboard for jig.
Do you open the fuselage to show the engine?

Cheers,
Frank

Post by: Brad Cancian on May 06, 2020, 10:42:14 AM: Looking great - I have built one of these before (as evidenced through my website link pic), it is a really great kit. I have to say that your build so far suggests that this will be a stunner.

Cheers,

I know it is early in your build, but did you order one of the two available painting masks for this model? I was wondering which was preferable, vinyl or paper? I am currently attempting to mask and spray a French 5 color camo scheme on a 1/28th Spad. Anything that helps with painting the camo is looking pretty good to me right now.

Your great photos of the really fine work you have done on your Salmson has convinced me to order one.

I got the paper ones and it would be sth new for me so we will see the results

I have started the engine..but was rather following WNW instruction:)

No, the manufacturer provided them in flat form on PE part. I have used the rod, but do not remember where those came from..:)

Some additional interior work..

I noticed you mentioned masks for the 5 color camo. Where do those come from. I've not heard of them before. They would be a great help with painting the camo.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, that is a Gaspatch model, so you can find the masks also in the Gaspatch shop in two varinats:

Not much done since last update. Fuselage is closed, sanded and primed. The undercarriage was enhanced to support well whole structure, which seems to be significant per 48 scaling

Post by: PrzemoL on June 03, 2020, 11:13:54 PM: Great to see work on this lovely model. I do not build this scale but I had a chance to have both this and WNW kits at the same time in my hands and the comparison was very positive for the Gaspatch one.
You have done an excellent start, fingers crossed for the camo application :-)

The base was AK476 Steel, then the final layer. Chipping was done with Olfa.

@RAGIII
Rick, that jig is a laser cut paperboard and a sheet of paper for positioning - and both are part of the kit!
Gaspatch is not only creating wonderful accessories, but also wonderful multimedia kits. I am looking forward to building this kit one day.
