Łukasz - thx for your "like"

Łukasz Gliński
Lucky you, following

Alex K
Following, of course...

Ben M
Oh cool

Juergen Klinglhuber
After a long break,....some new pictures.

Cuajete
Me 4! Good job with the riveter 👍

Łukasz Gliński
These rivets do look good indeed 👍

Robert Podkoński
I agree with Łukasz and Cuajete. And I will follow with pleasure and interest, of course 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you gents for your appreciation - for riventing exercise it went quite ok. I did not play around with this much on other kits before, but with that kind of protuding "bolts" like on this kit I decided to go that way. Upper wing surface left - than I am ready for assembly.

Bas Tonn
Rivets? I love rivets !! 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
🙁 more rivets and scribing....but - I'm almost done 🙂

Alex K
Nice to see work resuming on the Beaver (and what a riveting work!!!) 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
It took quite a while, but the bird is ready for the paint shop now.

Alex K
The re-scribing / re-riveting you did really paid dividends! Two thumbs up! 👍 👍

Cuajete
Well done so far! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Alex K & Cuajete!
@all - thx for hits on the like button. thx for your support and motivation.

bughunter
That is a great improvement compared to the kit provided details and looks now like 1:48 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thx you bughunter. 🙂 your comment is encouraging

Bernhard Schrock
It's amazing to see a modeler building a wintage kit! Go Jürgen go!! I'm in.

Łukasz Gliński
That looks impressive after rescribing and re-riveting 👍
PS. Are you willing to get rid of the RCMP decals?

Juergen Klinglhuber
Your comments make me happy - thx Bernhard & Lukasz.
@Lukasz - I would be happy to send them to your attention and use, but unfortunattly the kit was second hand and opened already. Austrian markings were added (back in the days IPMS Austria did some up-dates on existing kits - they organized a print of decals for a limited number of kits) but no Canadian markings. Sorry.

Łukasz Gliński
No problem, just keep up that grand detailing work on this lovely plane.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Adding colors,....

Gordon Sørensen
Great looking interior, Juergen. This is a kit that needs to be re-released by Airfix.

Cuajete
Looking so good 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thx Gordon & Cuajete

Alex K
Inspirational work... 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Exactely one year after starting this built I can call it "DONE".
Being the one and only in this groupbuild relased a lot of pressure with respect of timing 😉
Nevertheless this little bird had given me quite some challenges. So the topcoat was done twice. The old decals showed cracks and the wheels broke loose 3 times - the last time this moring, when I was going to take the pictures. I dropped the transport box and it went down half of my stairway. I lost both of the tires, both of the elevators and the antennas. The rest was still ok, so lets call this a lucky mishap. And...I can report: literally this bird did its maiden flight one year after starting construction. 😉
I hope you enjoy the pictures. cheers

Łukasz Gliński
So great to see it completed, congrats 👍

Alex K
She's a beauty, Juergen, two thumbs up! 👍 👍

Cuajete
Very nice result. Well done 👍👍👍.
Congrats!

Moreno Baruffini
Well done!!!

Stefan Fraundorfer
Top work Jürgen! I like your Beaver.

Ekki
Great work!

bughunter
It would have been a real shame if it had been destroyed on the first flight! Nicely done 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hi all & thx for your nice comments.

David Taylor
Nice Beaver.LOL.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you David.

Neuling
Good you saved it Jürgen: very nice!

Daniel Mysak
Nice little Austrian Beaver👍. Never thought this is the old Airfix kit when seeing the finished model.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Danke Neuling & Daniel. I was quite desperate sometimes during the build with all the un-planned hick-ups, but for sure it paid off to go the extra mile with the remove of the protrudeing rivets and resrcibbing them. Thx for your endorsemnet and recognition.
