Haha! Welcome to the front row. Hope you like putty and sanding… the fit is a bit suspect. 😉

I was eagerly waiting for this... I do have the Grip incarnation of the kit, really want to build it but still afraid... I will surely enjoy Greg's show! Ah! There's even an Eiffel tower in prospect!

I actually started with a very old Airfix bagged version of this kit (well, the O-2) but ended up switching to the ARII box when I realized how many pieces were broken/missing. So far, besides all the sink marks, getting the wings and the tail aligned has been the biggest challenge.

Looks like this is going to be some classical modelling.

Ah! That (the Airfix O-2 initially started) explains the scattered 337 pieces in the background! 😄

Got the wheels on and then realized this was going to be a tail sitter… luckily I could pop the cowl off and insert some weight.

Added a bit of styrene to the air intake to give it some depth. Other than that, we're ready for the first coat of paint… even though I assume there will be more putty and sanding required.

Very cool Greg👍
That Skymaster is rarely seen😉
Aby issues with the kit?

Thanks Daniel. I did have some issues with the kit. The fuselage halves didn't line up well at the rear (near the propellor), the landing gear had to be massaged into place, the fit of the windows was dodgy, and the assembled tail section was warped and I could only partially straighten it. Other than... great! 😉

This is one that I'm glad made it to conclusion. I had planned to paint the cheat lines, but in the end I opted for cutting up some extra decals from my Spad XIII collection and just making things easy. A neat little plane though.

Glad to see this one finished - thumbs up! 👍 👍 P.S. No Eiffel tower?

This Cessna looks nice, I think this is more often seen in gray?
But why you add the wrong scale on the nose? 👀 😉
