Title: Hansa Brandenburg C-1 1/72 Wings vac kit
Post by: Tim Mixon on October 06, 2022, 12:02:16 PM: This is an older build of a Wings 72 kit. I remember it to be pretty difficult construction. I scratch built the upper decking because it was too low. Very hard to get the upper wing alignment due to the split wing and the slanted struts. I really like the cammo pattern on this one. Austro Hungarian subjects are fascinating to me!

Thanks for the warning about the kit's difficulty scale. I have several of them in the stash, so I thought that would be the first vacform that I would set to. Maybe not.

Love the paintwork too.

I picked the same kit up earlier this year, but plan on a couple of simpler vacs first ;)

Post by: RichieW on June 06, 2023, 07:33:03 AM: Great job Tim, I can see why the top wing alignment would be challenging to say the least. You certainly nailed it though. I love the camo scheme too.
