OOOOOoooo! A new Uwe Tintin build! Sign me up! I also did this one for my Tintin project, and used the same logic to arrive at the Ki-10 as the kit to use. Not sure if you're aware or not, but even though the 3 planes are only tiny silhouettes in the album itself, they do appear on the cover of the May 16, 1933 edition of le petit vingtième (n° 20). [img1] - in case you're thinking about a reference for the paint scheme.

Uwe Kaeding
Thanks Greg. Yes, it was your build that gave me the idea of the Ki-10. I hadn't seen the cover but it was mentioned in one of the Blue Rider books, along with the idea that they are Hawker Harts/Demons... The markings are provided in the BR Tintin Part 7 decal set and I'm still making up my mind about whether to use those decals, kit decals, or maybe a combination of both?

Uwe Kaeding
Got to the first major issue with this kit - the wing struts don't fit! I found that the front strut of the main wing N-struts does not fit and will need to repositioned and lengthened a bit and the rear strut of the centre section n-struts need to be lengthened.

Uwe Kaeding
Welcome guys - I've now started on modifying the struts (wing struts first as they are the easiest)

Cuajete
Good correction 👍

Torsten
Beautiful work and good solutions, I love models to TinTin 😎

Greg Baker
This is going to be a beauty!

Uwe Kaeding
Thanks everybody - had some fun making masks for the windscreen (it's tiny!) but got it done and now waiting for the glue to dry

Uwe Kaeding
Finally got back to this one - top wing on (the strut mods worked!) and rigging completed. Nearing the end.

Greg Baker
I've built this kit twice now... neither one looks as good as this. Very nice work!

Uwe Kaeding
Thanks Greg - high praise. Decals are on, a mixture of kit decals plus the tail decal from the Blue Rider Tintin set, which fits OK if you're not worried about just covering the rudder...

Greg Baker
That tail decal looks great. I coulda sworn it was painted.

Robert Podkoński
Looks great already!

Uwe Kaeding
Thanks Greg and Robert. this one is done, just waiting on some final photos

Cuajete
Looks great. Waiting for the final pics.

Uwe Kaeding
Thanks Cuajete - I finally got my act together and took some finished photos!

Greg Baker
I LOVE the spats!

Uwe Kaeding
Yeah - worked on the theory that Herge loved putting spats on things that never had them, so why not use them on a plane that actually did have them?

Cuajete
Very nice job, Uwe.
Congrats!

I would also like to put spats in my future Ki-10.
