1/72 Breda Ba64 resin kit by Choroszy

fastmongrel · Feb 2, 2021

Been a while since I built a resin kit long enough for me to forget the pain. I didn't know of the existence of this aircraft till I spotted it on eBay.

The box

The bits

The instructions

I know it looks like a model builders waste bin at the moment but when I work out what all the little horrible bits are and where they fit I should be able to glue it together.

Good luck

Checking for alignment and it certainly needs some. It fits where it touches which is about what you expect from a resin kit.

I shudder but will watch with interest. Exercising my schadenfreude.

Certainly looks like a concise instruction book .... er... sheet, and maybe that should read "compact", not "concise" !

You're bravery makes you an inspiration to us all!

Fixed that for you

Hahahahaha! You said it, I didn't. You do seem to like punishment, but on the flip side you like the odd ball aircraft so that makes you aces in my book.

Making a start on gluing the cockpit together

Gonna have to thin the finger a bit to make it fit inside

I thought it was gum stuck to his fingers.

It's now less of a resin kit and become more of a superglue kit. In places my filing to fit meant I would be blowing through the resin so I have filled the top of the fuselage with superglue.

Lower wing in place, it needed some styrene packing pieces to level it up

unfortunately the tail is leaning to the left. I might have to get the razor saw out and chop the tail off and straighten it.

fastmongrel · Feb 3, 2021

Cut the tail off. Now just to work out best way of fixing it in place, probably a couple of brass pins.

My Lego alignment jig. Not quite a Motoliner jig

Good work so far!

This is not a resin kit anymore it's a Cyano kit with some epoxy and filler.

I like your alignment checking. I do something similar.
