I like that interior. It's very convincing. Painting will really make this think look awesome.
Nice start so far...and more life breathed into the vac site!!!!!!!!

Thanks Dan! I'm really looking forward to getting the interior painted, I'm just about at that point now. When I get this one done I've got Joystick's Rumpler to build and I see they made a few others I'd like to get so we should be able to add to things here for quite a while.
Interesting subject for 72nd. I suppose it's the only kit available and that nothing is produced in injection-moulded plastic? I've never attempted a vacform, so I'll watch your progress. Putting the fuselage halves together appears to be relatively straightforward but I'm particularly interested in how the wings go together...
I'm sure there's probably a resin kit or two but nothing injected that I'm aware of. Vacs seem to get under your skin pretty quickly somehow so I'm sure I'd be building this even if Tamiya came out with a kit of it. I might not be saying that after trying to join the wings though, the lowers are so thin that I doubt I can drill into the ends for wire pins, they might end up being butt-joints to the fuselage. As for the split upper wing- I refuse to worry about that until I get there.
I'd love, to Dan, but I have enough on my bench right now so I'd better exercise a little restraint....

I hear ya! It's good to be busy though.
Thanks also to Terri and RAGIII!
