My 2nd string bag / Wingnut Wings kit - the Dolphin!

Really happy how this one turned out! Often theses stuff I really wanted to change on a model, but on this one it would be minor improvements for another build  :)

Originally I wanted to do a simpler build than my last (Albatros D.v.). The Dolphin on paper looked to be simple enough, but wow the looks were deceiving!
It has a really busy cockpit and a huge engine. The fit of some of this was troublesome.
Rigging was also much more involved then the Albatros. Only saving part was the lack of turnbuckles  ;D

For others building the kit in the future - be aware of brittle decals! I only nearly avoided disaster  :)

Rigging: Modelkasten 0.6 (0,13mm)
Tubes: Albion Alloys 0.5 / 0.3mm
Weathering: Oil paint + Enamel products.
Base: Popsicle sticks, AK terrain paste, Greenstuff World static grass.

That is one first class model. The fuel and other stains are so realistic. I would never have guessed that you had any problems with this kit. Congratulations.

Stephen.
