We decide at our Club meetings what the next "Theme" or Group build is going to be, and usually I can search amongst some old models and find something appropriate, but the theme for December is "Red and White" (Blame the holidays and a certain sweet beverage manufacturer) and I had nothing suitable... so I decided to quickly get something together. Please note this is no great super-detailed build with lots of PE and fine wires, just an out-of-the-box colourful fun build! Hopefully I can beat the deadline...
So here's the kit, plastic only!
I know there is Eduard PE etc, but I simply don't have time for that. Compromises will be made, and this kit has been made many times before on the site in great detail... I did look at the builds and they are very helpful.
So a start to the Cockpit floor and a few details: the decal for the compass came from the spares box...
Then the seat and fabric bulkhead, my interpretation of colours! The seat belts are metal from wine bottle cork wrappings... and some scrap buckles....
That's a wee it inverted! Then the cockpit sides were painted and the kit supplied frames installed... The plywood V formers were wood effect, and the fabric areas a neutral colour, then some stretched sprue rigging (Quick, cheap and cheerful) and I lost the map bag... too bad...
Progress has been made... Enjoy your modelling!
