delta7 Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 My latest project this relatively easy revell 1/72 should have been a relaxing build but I had to fight it all the way . 1) one set of the windows fell in when I was masking for spraying so I had to split the fuselague , putty and sand again 2) the cockpit windows cracked so I had to get a replacement 3) the decals were special order and very delicate so I had to patch a couple 4) the wheels struts were white metal which refused to glue right untill I fought with them 5) I tried to rescribe some panels and the tape lifted some paint so I had to touch that up but I like how it turned out Quote
Rattler Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 That looks lovely, Dave! I'm impressed! I'm glad that you stuck it out too. I've had such problems before, and binned the thing in disgust at my efforts! Nice job. Quote

BadAim Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Quite beautiful, I have great respect for aircraft modelers, and your DC-3 is a perfect example why. Quote
delta7 Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 thanks for the kind words guys, in truth it didnt turn out just as good as I wanted but Im pleased with how it finished up and that I kept with it - it was nearly in the bin a few times. Santa is bringing me a spitfire MK1 and a hurricane MK1 as Iv been a good boy and I hope I can do these justice- Ill try to get my seams and spray painting better and Iv learnt a bit about patience and leaving things aside for a while if I get problems as rushing into these type of things just leads to more frustration.
