Some more photos, including one of me holding the model to show how big it really is.
And that’s all. This is an interesting model. Probably because of its size the way most parts are designed are not like any other paper model. That may be confusing for someone used to smaller paper models (like me). Instructions are presented in the way of diagrams, but without further indications this means one have to study the parts for some time to understand how they are supposed to go. But once you get familiar with the way it is assembled, things come easy. If the modeler is looking for an accurate reproduction, this may be somehow disappointing. Despite its size (49 X 61 cms - 19 X 24 inches) lots of details are simplified. Scratch is the solution if one really loves the plane and wishes to make a better looking model. One thing I found nice was is that the kit already includes a movable propeller. However it is too simple and ugly. If the original propeller of the kit is replaced by a custom made it really adds a lot to the model. However, the wheels are strangely fixed. And that’s something I personally dislike, and found very strange for a model this size. The mechanism for the moving propeller is more complex than making moving wheels. Some improvisation is useful to make better wheels. In total, I spent 57 hours and six minutes assembling the whole model, including the time needed to make the wood parts and the additional details. All comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks for reading!
