Ok I got the parts out of the bag, to take a look at and to try and get some ideas. theres flash every where but it does look a fairly good kit, detail wise. ( external that is ).

I've got a rough idea what I want to do now, so I'll be starting work on this soon.

 

[papa 695]

Made a start on this one. I've got the wings glued together, I will need to sand off the roundals that's on them. Also marked up where I'm going to do the first bit of chopping. I will keep the parts to fit the wings into/ onto something later on.

theres flash every where...

Well, you certainly get your money's worth with all that extra plastic in the kit... hehe... :tongue-out:

I actually hope my sprues are dodgy and full of flash and such because it'll just make it easier to cut into and go crazy!
I'll find out when I get to start my build but I love the donor plane you've got and I envy you a bit...

I built this one several years ago. Makes up into a nice Walrus.

It's great to get it out every now and again Joe.

Just remember you're not allowed do do it in public and you'll be OK.

 

[papa 695]

Got some more done to this, completed the tail boom, filled the wing roundels also painted the engine, props and outer casing.
