Part 4.
I made a lot of strides towards completing this one. The Hemi engine block was painted traditional orange. I added spark plug wires from twisted wire and the belt out of masking tape. The blower intake was scratched up as well. I know the openings are too small but it is what it is!
I didn?t realize that Tom?s model works was still open for business. I ordered the German WWI gun set and used the Spandau jackets.
I opted for a Jasta 19 livery. This markings pilot is unknown as well as the serial number.
The kit rudder was way too inaccurate for me. I decided to use the one from Revell?s 1/28 Dr.1 kit. Control wires are heavy EZ line.
The kit doesn?t provide any markings for the lower wing so I used some Americal Gryphon extras on the tail and bottom. The Jasta 19 plane should have the intermediate block type cross but I like the ernze cruz look.
I can?t tell you how much fun this build has been. Very refreshing not to worry so much about accuracy.
Almost finished!
