I am sure of it!

Absolute top class modelling. I wonder if you are going to use linen to cover the fuselage sides and the wings later...

Hi gentlemen!

Really Bo, what a question! Of course! But in fact I could not settle it, the LEWIS is not aboard!

We need wings for that may be...
Lower one first step:







Remember, these aircrafts were dismantled...

Of course, it is not the way of Hasegawa...



In front, the box parts, behind mine,
But I tried to adapt!

So glad to see you back on this one, Dan.  Truly phenomenal work.  I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to use your build log as my primary reference when I build my 1/48 scale Roden kit. :-[
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Dan
Have watched your build on another site and I find you are one exceptional modeler, your skills are just brilliant, I too build like you but not to your standard.

Best regards
Richard

Well, before attacking the wings , I am committed to achieving the junctions.

Of course , I use parts Hasegawa I torture a little, you'll see.

And here is the finished piece :

Thanks guys!

To Ernie, more...

We were talking about the wings is not it ? Here we go!
First operation, a new workshop in the workshop(!) , because I decided to build
simultaneously the port and starboard (lower) wings I had to create space :



It is clear that there Hasegawa parts will be used ! Besides the fact that all
chopsticks to good sampling in principle there _ knowingly box I bought was not new_ all pre- cut pieces are there.
Style those little spacers, pre-cut but not hollowed !



Whithout a mill, God help you!


It remains for me to cut the side curve ... Imagine cutter attack !



Has yet to clean the low slot, a walk, in fact 27 walks
per wing . A bi-plane ? Four wings if I'm not mistaken ...



Unfinished , the lower wings





Just a kit for mad people!

Dan.
