DFW-28 Floh (Eduard 1/48)
« on: February 12, 2015, 08:09:24 PM »
Hi all!

I started yesterday this model.

This is the short-run, in the tradition of the models Eduard 90s.



There is a lot of work for the preparation.









All surfaces are sanded, and reinforcements are added.







General parts prepared:



I'll start the cockpit today!

A bientôt

You're off to a great start, Arnaud.  I finally broke down and bought one of these odd looking critters at a local model show in December, so I will be following along closely in hopes of learning a thing or two. 
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Arnaud
I have one of these too. I do not know why it has escaped being built but at least now I can enjoy seeing yours come together.
Cheers, Alan.

Great start! The Floh is very rare to see, so I`ll follow your thread.
Looks a lil`bit like an egg plane!

Strange but cool little plane. Looks like a Harley Davidson gas tank with wings.

I'll be interested to see it being built.

Thank you for your interest in this model! I highly recommend it! It is really nice, and the model is not bad. There are a few improvements to make, but nothing insurmountable!

Radio: I thought your topic! Very beautiful and hard work on the engine compartment! Congratulations!!

That's the next step:







I can start painting. I do not think using the oil painting.

A bientôt

Very nicely done with the planking Arnaud, and the cockpit boat looks pretty good so far.
