    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    Last few bits going on now , the screen ( which is about the same size and shape as a toenail clipping !) was cut out of its flash , cleaned up and fitted . The twelve bombs had been painted ready to go on but I decided not to fit them. The aircraft never saw combat so I doubt they would have...

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    Dont know ,but I do know it makes my life easier - only 1 bay to rig ! When I see biplanes like the SE5 or Bristol fighter I tend to back away cause they have loads of rigging - how people manage to do things like the Gotha bombers or Ilya Muromets is mind boggling

    New person to the mix

    Hi john , welcome to the forum . Nice choice of subjects there , the Thunderchief is a fantastic machine , surprisingly large for a single engine craft ( in fact im not sure if it holds the record for the heaviest single engine aircraft ? ) I did the monogram 1/48 a while ago and loved it ...

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    I think they had to use hefty rods because of the massive size of the bay . For a 50 ft span aircraft to have only 1 bay between struts is unusual .

    The fibre optic strands are quite strong and stiff steve , the paint is just cause they look like theyre painted in the upper colour in photos . I’d recommend trying to get hold of some of these if youve got a rod rigged aircraft to do

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    After the rigging rods were finished all the ends were painted silver and any spots of superglue touched up with the appropriate colours.Its now had another quick coat of matt to tie everything together . While its drying I made a start with some of the last bits to be added . The propeller was...

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    Cheers richard , yes its definitely a bit obscure but like yourself that only attracts me more . Plus its an old unloved kit that needs a bit of care to get the best out of it . Todays update - after gluing the interplane struts on the top wing was then fitted . The fibre optic strands were...

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    The rigging rods dilemma has hopefully been resolved . At first I was going to use acupuncture needles , its something ive used before and gives a good representation of a rigid rod but I didnt have enough . Then I remembered I’d got some fibre optic strands in the spares box . I got these a...

    Macchi mc202 Folgore 1/72 finished

    Cheers joe , actually confession time - the tail wheel is out of the spares box , the kit one pinged out of the tweezers while i was trying to paint it and disappeared into another dimension . This spare one was the nearest I could find although as you noticed slightly bigger than the original...

    BOATMANS XB-70 Valkyrie in 1/72 scale

    Thats fantastic chris , what an achievement , it looks brilliant . Shame it came to a sticky end though , but I bet it looked amazing the short time it was flying . Although if you had wanted to build another one you could always have cut a few corners and used that shirt collar for the...

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    A coat of klear sealed the paint and gave a nice smooth surface for the decals . I thought the decals might be a bit tricky as they are obviously quite old but they behaved perfectly - good colour density and quick to release from the paper . All 10 are now on ( yes, a relief from tiny stencils...

    Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore

    With a final push this is now done . It had a wash and then a final couple of mist coats of matt before all the last bits were fitted . The canopy is tiny and fragile so I opted to hand paint the frames instead of masking , helpfully the frame lines are very well defined . Here's a few pics to...
