That looks like a dinky little kit Ian, look forward to see what you do with this one... solitary piece or in a diorama????

[papa 695]

Hi Colin i'm thinking of just solitary on a little base

Nice choice Ian. That thing must be pretty tiny in that scale.

Ian M

[papa 695]

Yes it is Ian should have gone for the 1/48 scale Tiny's not the word but should make a nice little model

[Ian M]

lol. Good luck with the rigging.Ian M

oh yeah the rigging, seems we'll get another chance to see "patience of a saint Ian" at work

[yak face]

Good choice ian, not the easiest of ww1 subjects either! looking forward to the build , cheers tony

I'm sure it will build into a fantastic, detailed (if diminutive) model. It is definitely one of the more complex aircraft of the Great War. Looking forward to the progress.

Nice choice Ian. I fancied this plane, but there's a lot of rigging there. Good luck.

Well i started this today, and Oh My God it must be the WORST kit iv'e ever had. Flash every where the fitting is just terrible and how the parts are attached to the sprue is criminal

That's shocking! You can hardly see where the flash ends & the part begins!

Good luck Ian, you're gonna need it!

Cheers

wow!!! rather you than me mate ....... and i moan about Airfix ....... i shall refrain from such after seeing this

Pegasus are a low out put/limited production company. So if you are expecting clean and tidy, you picked the wrong kit Ian.

In short the "master" is scratch built and the 'sprue' is normally wax rod 'welded to the parts with more wax. These are then used to make a silicon mould into which the hot plastic mass is manually pumped into the mould.

Not enough pressure and the parts do not fill out, to much and the actual mould parts and you get loads of flash.

Some of these kits are pretty good. Others not so good. I am just getting over a Blue Max Avro 504. Though not as bad as your, it was still a challenge.

Take comfort in the fact that these type of kits are made be rivet counters (more often than not) so they have the right size and shape.
