Title: 1/72 Bat project Gotha GL.VII
Post by: pustota on July 15, 2015, 03:24:33 AM

Good day!
I have started a new project, it's Gotha Gl.VII (Maybach engines) in 1/72 scale from "Bat project".
A bit of information pictures:

Nice looking kit. Does the first PE set you show come with it, or are they both after market sets?

Thank you guys!
The kit not so easy as it seems from the first look.
The parts dose not fit in there plases. It's requed alot of shaving and feeting. Most of the cocpit parts are hiding after you closing fuselage . Regards.

Your cockpit work is very well done, you make working in 1:72 scale look easy, but knowing how small these parts are demonstrates your modeling talents.

Good day!
Sorry for so long delay, i have been on my summer vacation for a three weeks.
What have been done lately:
Painted nose section with "chipped green paint". The upper part of the fuselage got a lozenge cover("Wood and Wire")
http://www.nordlandmodels.com/product/d72001-5-color-upper-and-lower-lozenge-with-rib-tapes-faded-with-fabric-texture-and-overprint-efect:15824/.
Not much, but a project going on.
Thank you.

  Pustota,
Excellent update my friend,your improved radiators are looking great. I don't this kit as of yet but I believe after seeing this project I may have to add an example to the collection.Likely it will be quite a while before I attempt a build up though. I do love the fish shaped fuselage.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Thank you all! 
To be honest, the kit is not so easy as it seams for the fist look. The plastic from which the model is made too hard and crumbles. Lozenge decal have a wrong colors. A lot of sanding and dry fittings, details are poor. In my opinion the model is doesn't worth that price.

Good day!
Wings lozenge are completed. It's took me three pages of decals in total, the decals are good but needs a "decal fix+decal medium" care (Vallejo). Lozenge tapes are from the kit.
Thank you.
