It really looks great despite the repairs and steam punk inspired band aids. You should be proud of this one: it is probably the only assembled version of the kit on the planet. Nicely done.

I admire your tenacity with this one! And the results you're getting are admirable when one considers the poor design. Echoing Don's comment, it's probably the only time the build has ever gone any further than printing the pages. Keep going, I'm following with interest.

These were my exact thoughts as I was catching up on your progress. Very impressive

And the skids. I had to remake them because the sag. I laminated the skids with cardstock, total 3 mm. I made an extra leg in front of the skids, as you can see in the pictures.

When I put the plane on the skids the body was to heavy and saged in the middle. So I made an extra skid.. (last picture )

Here is the finished model.
Conclusion:
A model with a lot of missalignments, Not all parts fitted and needed corrected. It has no internal formers, that is a must for a model as big as this on, the wingspan is about 60 cm. But it is a nice model in the end. But you have to put at lot of work in to it. I use 3 copies of this model in the end :wink:. A word of advice: Dryfit the parts before glueing.

Now to the pictures:

Thumbs up

Wow, looks very very good. Good job on overcoming all of the problems that model had and coming up with solutions.
