Evening all,
I wasn't sure whether or not to post this build - I'm concerned that it may turn out to be a total disaster (all down to my building skills, or lack of, and not the parts themselves).
I was also unsure where to post it. This is because it isn't a straightforward kit-build. Yes, it's a kit of parts but the parts consist of scratched parts and proprietary kit parts none of which are scratched by yours truly and so posting in 'scratch builds' doesn't seem right as I can't take credit for actually building the model from scratch. So I've decided to post it in 'Under Construction'.
The scratch parts were made for me by a fellow modeller and the proprietary parts are mostly from an Airfix DH4. I have however scratched some small parts myself and will be making some more along the way.
I made a start over a week ago and here is the progress thus far:
Wings as provided - all scratched from plasticard and plastic strip. I have given them a coat of Tamiya XF55 to represent CDL, although the final colour scheme is yet to be decided.
The nacelle. The parts that I have made myself are the framing and the fuel tank. All the rest, bar the pilot's seat (Eduard) was provided in the "kit".
Another picture showing the nacelle. I have added my own dashboard base. Next up is to make a dashboard.
