robunos:
I'm a bit a bit late to this GB, but I'm hoping to get this finished in time . . . :o
I didn't think I had anything suitable, then I remembered I'd bought this kit to replace the Pegasus kit I'd already built, then I found that I had some sharkmouth decals on a sheet I'd bought for another project . . .
So, off we go !
Here's the Box Art,
I think Curtiss Hawk style teeth will look good on this, especially as I'll be using an alternative scheme where the fuselage is pale blue . . .
The sprue, such that it is.
It's a simple build, but has the complication that the engine must be finished before the fuselage halves can be assembled. So here's the engine glued to the cockpit floor.
With that done, I looked at the wings. As per my previous build, they're going to be fitted in the mid position, so need to be cut in two. Here are the wings before,
and after cutting.
Lastly for this time, I removed the lower wings from the lower centre-section, again before,
and after,
this part will be attached to the asembled fuselage and faired to shape.
That's All For Now, Stay Tuned . . .
cheers,
Robin.

Und die trägt er im Gesicht."
And the shark, it has teeth,
And it wears them in the face.
