Hello all! Haven't posted here in ages. But I just wrapped up the Eduard Se5a in 1/48. Feedback always appreciated! Cheers.

Brilliant paintwork and shading. This looks more like a 1/32 than a 1/48.

That is one beautiful SE5a. The PC10 along with the weathering is just perfect. Rigging too.

Wonderfully done, sir!

Any tips on this kit? Have it in the stash but haven't drummed up the courage to tackle it.

Cheers,

Thanks for the kind words everyone! It was a pretty straight forward build, honestly. Some slight seam issues with the upper fuselage / cockpit coverings and the rest of the fuselage, but not too much fuss. I drilled out the mounting points for the eyelets for the rigging since they're molded very shallowly, but that was about it! Rest of it was a pretty straight forward build, although I did quite a bit of test fitting before gluing anything.
