Caproni Ca 3 in 1/100 scale Dre Kampfflieger
Hello my friends!
I show in this thread my build log about the WW1 Italian bomber Caproni Ca 3. I buy this kit in 2009 direct from Roman shop, so I started the build today. The Ca 3 is a complex model is a trimotor biplane with twin booms. Roman capture everything details of plane, include cockpit, engines, turret structures. I started the model aplly a coat of matt varnish in the sheets.  The next step is made the ten wheels from undercarriage, the kit use building scheme, so I turned to lamination with triplex paper...    Next steps: sanding the wheels, paint and add canvas...

Caproni Build
Thank you Pericles. I am interested in this kit and it is a lovely aircraft in real life. I hope watching your build will answer the many questions I have about building kits like this. As an example, I am used to kit parts having glue tabs on them and have no clue how to make wings without spars and ribs for interior bracing. Ric minigamer1953

Small updates...
I build the canvas wheels, are 10 pieces in total.  A tip for gluing small pieces: is a usefull tool, a hypodermical syringue, to distribute a small amounts of glue... To conform the piece I use a needle. I pressing the piece on his palm and making the circumference of the canvas to form the cone, before I painted the white line edges with a hidrocolor pen.     result: finished wheels. I decide, make to superior wing, is segmented with two pieces, is a small problem, at the moment is a join to two pieces, I think in use a small piece of 75g paper joiner... In general WWI model have a small wing chord, in this model Roman not use a internal reinforcement, because the shape of airfoil, use a curve... In the pics the wing process build...  The tools used in process, the secret is apply small amount of glue the rear of wing, for fold I make a small valley in wing bord, for this I use a dental spatula, the edge lines are painted with hydrocolor pens...  I apply the glue... For drying, is a important tip, I press the wing in the bench, this action produce a safe gluing, no produce a deformation in thw wing...  Finish I gluing the tip wing. and produce curve chord with a cylinder of plastic...  Pieces finish and reserve for future steps... Continue soon...

 In this week a produce little progress in the model, before a general build, I constructed many elements, I'm focused in pieces of cockpit at this time...   FIAT Revelli Machine guns, for produce perfect fold I use a old scalpel blade...  The same process build in the pilots column...   Control console and instrument board...  Crew seats...   Fuel tanks and other boxes... So I decided make the rest of wings, and tail elements...   Inferior wings, the process to build is same of superior wings I show posts ago...   Stabilizer...   Rudders... At this time I build some "spare" pieces...  Floor of aft gunner...   Ring gun of aft gunner, note in this piece is necessary cut the center first...  Fuselage radiators... That is at the moment. I hope make more updates soon... Cheers to all!
