No, I knew that coming in. I don't use putty, instead I use thick CA glue. I was up late last night and finished all the joints above the wing, saving those big ugly ones underneath for later. Looks pretty good so far. Pictures later.Hi Glenn. A local fellow modeler built this kit. When ready to paint, it looked as if it was made of putty. I hope you won't put it back on the shelf
I started this kit some time ago and I don't think the ICM kit was around yet. I love the mid-late '30s Lufthansa colors, so will be doing that (see pricture below) I already have a Ju52 done up like that JU-52 Lufthansa Italeri 1/72 and have a He-111 with the Lufthansa decals in my stash. The 3 should look good on the shelf lined up next to each other.Interesting subject! Hope you manage to work this into something nice! I've been thinking about doing one as well, however I do intend to go with the ICM kit (which for only a few quid more seems to offer a lot more modern en better detailed) than this ancient Matchbox kit, althought it lacks the possibility to build a radial engined version. Any special color schemes you have in mind for this build? I've seen quite a few very interesting and wonderful looking schemes for it.
The Kristle Klear that's on now is only acting as a mask to keep the paint out of the interior. When the painting is done I'll remove it and make the windows out of more Kristle Klear.Good stuff Glenn. You might have problems masking the Kristal klear. I normally apply this after painting the model, as any masking can 'lift' the set KK, and any clear coat will fog it normally.
