Pegasus 1/72 scale Junkers CL.I
« on: February 02, 2022, 12:42:32 AM »
This model was started about 2017 and ended up in the "Under Construction" box when
I moved house a while ago. Anyway, it's done. As a Pegasus kit, it was a rough kit with
a lot of flash and bent white metal details. I scratch built the interior and dipped in to the
spares box for needed parts. The trailing edges of the wings required a lot of thinning.







I hope you like it. As I've said before, this is an aircraft that should be kitted in 1/48 scale.

                                                                            Thanks for looking,
                                                                                             Kevin

You have turned this kit into a Real Beauty Kevin! Lovely scheme and terrific work.

Very nice Kevin, that you finished this model!
Have you painted it with a brush?
Decals and corrugated sheet metal are arch enemies! You did a good job with them.

As I've said before, this is an aircraft that should be kitted in 1/48 scale.
I fully sign that!

Cheers,
Frank

Congratulations Kevin, you've done a fantastic job with a rough - if welcome - kit. She looks superb.

Anyone who can complete a Pegasus kit and get a half decent result deserves a medal. You have managed a first class result so you deserve a chestful of medals!

That is a super model of one of the less well known types.

Great that you decided to finish this model. There are so few of them. Very fine final result!

A great job on a rough limited run kit.  This is also on my "to do" list

Many thanks to everyone for looking in on this build.

Yes Frank, I just brush painted the model. By brush painting, I was able to give it a weathered look.

It is unfortunate that a lot of the coronations are lost at the seams after cleaning up the flash. A better kit
design, like Roden has used with their Junkers D.I, would be the way to go. Thanks again to everyone for your comments.

Looks great, Kevin!  I really like the subdued hues.  Really nice finish...Dan from across the tracks in Felony Way.

Kevin, so nice all the way 'round sir. As others have said, it's a Pegasus kit, so . . . .

I really like the finish, and overall look. Nice to see this here, there are so few.
