    28mm Krupp Protze Polish conversion

    Well, the build is officially complete! All body re-shaping done and small details added The wheels will be glued on after painting. Which won't be done until I've practiced the camo schemes with my airbrush a bit more. Thinking I might add a driver figure later too Oh, and a shout out to...

    Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44

    The interior undercoated, with Halfords Grey Primer I can't find any reference to the colours of the interior of Ala Littoria airliners, assuming that, when the 'plane was camo'ed only the outside was repainted. The phot I have shows the interior as VERY shiny. I'm going to go with blue, as...

    Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44

    Interior now complete. Four seats modified, two scratchbuilt. Cockpit parts 'accurized' with a new joystick, rudder bars, throttle columns and seats One of the seats is slightly askew, but, meh. Even managed to do a figure-of-eight grip for the joystick out of carefully bent wire, so I'm...

    Replacement rudder now complete, and the kit parts sliced off and stuck together, 'cause you never know when you might need another replacement some time And it matches up pretty well. I think

    Now, onto the, absent, interior. Which, for a 'pl;ane with windows all down the sides is annoying. All there is in the kit is a front and rear bulkhead plus the cockpit floor, none of which are correct The cockpit has two seats, for a start, and a weirdly shaped door in the centre. Even the...

    So, I've decided I am going to change the rudder profile First off, twenty-thou centre, with a few microstrips for the ribs. I've now put some 10 thou overt the top, thoroughly 'wetted' with liquid poly to set it into the rib shapes. The just a little filling and sanding to follow. If the...

    So, I've just noticed on the tail close-up, one of the rudder control rods has gone astray, so... NOW I'm done! And thanks to everyone for their kind comments and appreciation. I feel validated!

    Just as an asde, I've scanned my Puttnams DeHavilland for these This gives you some idea of the differences between all three. I'll have to see if there's a kit of the Dragon itself some time

    The kit markings are for I-AURRA, but I've decided on I-ORIO because of the yellow engine nacelles, which will be a contrast to the camo This is mainly because on of the few service photos I can find, other than in the monograph, is this one Which also shows the shape of the larger lower...

    Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44

    Well, I found a build of this online by an Italian modeller. Just a set of pics, and somewhere he got a set of 1/72 plans. He had a very nice interior which has more details than the two photos I've got, plus he pointed out some inaccuracies in the kit, so here we go The tail is a different...

    Gents, you are all too kind And just this morning I realised I left off the 'Lift Here' and arrow markings off the side of the fuselage... So I've drawn them in, with a 0.1mm fineliner because why not might redo them a bit straighter...

    Now, wings and fuselage drilled for support rods of 1mm brass Otherwise, they're just butt joints Looks like things will line up nicely, at least on the lower wing. I think the holes are a little off set on the top. Still, so long as they hold, no probs Next, that interior

    Well, I can hope this is the only thing that will go wrong in this build While cutting out the side windows, one piece broke off, though easily repaired This sort of resin does take cyano well. Going to need a bit more sanding once the primer is on and I can see how much it shows

    Many thanks everyone for your appreciation. Feedback is always welcome, as I'm always saying on eBay So, a request for scale pics? Sorted! And, as I managed to cover up the scale on the box... For those of you not having followed the build thread, the paint is all rattle can Humbrol...

    28mm Krupp Protze Polish conversion

    This is the kit. Resin body, 3D print windscreen and steering wheel, plus wheels. Blitzkrieg do a large range of early-war and western desert vehicles, and they're changing over from white metal small parts to 3D print So, I've made a start. A lot of cutting, drilling, filing, and that's...

    28mm Krupp Protze Polish conversion

    The Polish 10th Armoured, the Black Brigade, used a licence-built version of the Krupp Protze as a troop mover. I'll be converting Blirtzkrieg Miniatures 28mm Kommandeurwagen version to the Polish, thanks to Pete at Blitzkrieg supplying me with an extra set of wheels What a snice chap he is...

    Right, parts have been cleaned, and big bits off the moulding blocks One side has the windows cut out... ...which are these vac bits And here's the small parts Not sure I'll be using the resin struts, as I often find them too fragile. I've some Aeroclub strut material to use instead, though...
