I found this kit on eBay and bought it out of curiosity.
Now it looks like I'll have to BUILD it out of curiosity!
I glued the wing-tops to the fuselage halves using Micro Weld. This avoids having to fill a wing-root gap (second in seriousness only to a mine-shaft gap).
Gave the decals a coat of Liquid Decal Film. I apply this stuff with a cotton swab because it can easily ruin a brush.
A little Vallejo Putty, smoothed with a damp finger, fills the wing root without sanding.
Installing the cockpit turned out to be an exercise in frustration. I finally guessed on the proper alignment and splashed on a quart of super glue and a pint of accelerator. Viola!
Doesn't look TOO bad...
Attachment of the tail wheel was flaky. I redesigned it.
I decided to use Modelmaster Dark Ghost Gray for the interior gray, then I decided to give the whole thing a coat of Dark Ghost Gray. Then I put a micro-drop of green paint in one wingtip light and a microdrop of red paint in the other wingtip light and glued them to the wingtips with globs of super glue. Once this set up, a nail buffer gave me all the tools I needed to blend the lights into the wings.
Cockpit got painted.
My usual amazing decal job for the seat belts.
Which brings us up to the present.
