PWS 26 (1/72, Lukgraph)
« on: August 24, 2024, 05:45:15 AM »
Here is my current build, after large scale, the time has come for 72nd scale. I am so happy Lukgraph decided to release their newest models in 72nd scale. It is a Polish trainer aircraft from 1930s, which I like very much because it is a biplane!

I was already busy with removing the 3D printed elements from the trees, polishing the print traces, priming with One Shot primer. It looks like a pleasant side project.

Looking forward to this one, as I do all your builds! It looks to be a beautiful little kit and I'm sure you'll work your usual magic on it.

Yes, it is, a licensed version from Polish Škoda factory.

The magic of wire inserts holding the bits together without any glue  :D

Cardboard rig used to fix the geometry of the lower wings. Liquid CA glue poured into the seams.
Stabilisers were glued earlier and their seams are already filled and sanded.
