Hi everyone!
I’d like to start this thread to share the build process of one of my all-time favorite aircraft — the magnificent Latecoere 631.
My fascination with this aircraft was actually the reason I began learning 3D modeling and resin printing completely from scratch. I wanted a model of the Late 631 so badly that eventually I decided to create one myself.
So far I have already built the aircraft in 1/144 scale for my own collection, and in this thread I will be showing the construction of the large 1/72 scale version built by my good friend Harvey Low.
The model was designed and produced by RareBirdModels and more information can be found through the links in my forum signature.
I'll start from posting some out-of-the-box photos of the printed parts here:

3D printing has certainly come a long way over the last few years and has had a marked influence on scale modelling.
Looking forward to this build.
 
I wasn't aware of this beautiful aircraft, but found this on youtube:
