Scalephantomphixer Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 I overlaid main parts of the kit on the Datafile drawing, and found out some minor inaccuracies. It might be the drawing, which I have to check... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skyking Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 The Master has begun. I am going to now take a hammer to all my previous efforts of biplane flying boats, cut up all the masters and take up knitting, as they will be severly put to shame.

Scalephantomphixer Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Dry assembly of the cockpit parts with Uhu tack. The least I can say is that there is some room for improvement... The cp floor should be like in a boat: wood planks. The control cables are missing. The broken steering wheel. Crude rudders...there is plenty of hard work ahead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edgaras Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Good start, looking foward to see more progress on this lovely aircraft Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scalephantomphixer Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 First adjustements on the boat floor: some moldings have to go. The Part plank bottom is gorgeous Quote Link to post Share on other sites
