i did one like this 30+ years ago. i remember getting crazy to get the engine/wings on top of the fuselage.... did you have the same trouble?

I remember a lack of clarity about how the propellers were to be set in the engine housing. I did not like the outcome, which is too loose. I sill like the basic context, which is now part and parcel of the brand new Dornier Seastar. ( diamondaircraft.com/../Dornier-Release.pdf )

Dornier Seastar is certainly a good looking airplane.

Isn't it, though? Don't miss the You Tube footage...in flight.

Album info

The original intent was to assemble as a Luftwaffe craft, complete with the typical splinter camouflage, but the box had a Luftkreiscommando version that had decals and I liked the slate gray over silver motif livery.
