Morning all
Just started fiddling with this new kit which I picked up at the weekend. Quality isn't great, but I was hoping for a nice simple quick build with the wings both mounted on the fuz, so decided to dive right in.
I decided on a DII rather than the IIa (There are a few differences between them most noticeably the undercarriage position was moved for the later version and there were extra louvres)
All the major components in the kit need reshaping and or refining
so some time has been spent reshaping wing tips, tail etc. and sanding them to an acceptable thickness - they are gradually getting there now (I feel like a sculptor carving from a promising piece of wood)
The Radiators on the top wing are disappointing so I'd like to replace/refine them. I've got some extra brass form an Albie DV, but the rads are a different size - any suggestions how to produce these (or even better a source for them?)
Cheers
Paul
