Biplane Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a in 1:14
Dear cardboard modelers!
For the following report, I apologize for the strange English. The English I learned in school is not good enough, to give it here in writing from me. Therefore I use the translation software DEEPLE. After the Fokker Dr I from Casalta in 1:14 I would like to start today with the the S.E.5a from the same publisher in the same scale. I have also built this model some years ago. some years ago. At that time I knew nothing about it, that you can improve the visual effect of a cardboard model by coloring the edges and folds. to improve the optical effect of a cardboard model. At the end of this report I will show both models for comparison. Scale: 1:14 10 pages with parts on high gloss, relatively thin cardboard. 2 pages with parts on gray, solid cardboard. 2/3 pages with pre-cut reinforcement parts 1/3 pages with pre-cut thin but very strong former parts 36 sketches for each step of construction. Short building instructions in English, Spanish, German and French Two small remarks beforehand: While building the current model, I was surprised over and over again how much I had to delve into the building instructions again, even though I had I had already understood and implemented the model and the building techniques years ago. The second remark refers to the - from my point of view - completely chaotic arrangement of the part numbers on the individual sheets. I still spend minutes searching for individual parts. Whether there is a system in the arrangement of the part number is not apparent to me. Here are first some pictures of the construction sheet: |

And off we go:
I will report on the individual construction stages in such a way again, that I show sketches from the illustrated building instructions together with photos of my of my assemblies. The construction of the fuselage is easy and quick. |

An impressive model of a famous aircraft, and an impressive display of your paper model building skill.
