Halberstadt CL.IV
« on: November 03, 2025, 02:07:35 AM »
This is the Karaya 1002 kit.  1/48 Roland build Halberstadt CL.IV.  I used Microscale lozenge for the covering and tapes.  Had cracking issues that showed up on some of the lozenge long after the decals were applied and clear coats added.  Not sure what happened but I didn't want to start all over.  It also didn't help that I dropped it when almost complete.  Surprisingly it didn't break apart but cracked some wing joints and struts.  I wasn't able to get it back as aligned as it was before, but close enough for me.

I wasn't aware of this.  Does anyone else have issues seeing Imgur photos?  What is another good way to post photos that everyone can see?

Yes, it's only happened recently and caught all of us by surprise. The UK introduced some new data protection laws and Imgur refused to comply so now folks in the UK just get a "content not viewable in your region" message. I'm UK based and had to switch to Flickr, which still works fine.

Here are some more Flickr photos.  It takes me awhile to figure out how to upload and share these.

That's a lovely build, the end result is most striking! The interior looks fantastic as well, very nice woodgrain and detailing.

Super duper  8)
That's a really colourful end result. I love the ragged overpainting on the fuselage crosses which is a nice touch typical of the rest of the builds thoughtfulness

Fabulous build! Funny enough I just purchased 1001?. Couldn?t resist the black and white stripes.
Cheers
