Scale: 1/72th.
This is more of a 'Pick-up from an aborted start to finish build'. I've decided to try to finish some of the many partially started kits I have laying around.
I started this kit a number of years ago, gluing the fuselage together and smoothing out all the joints, then I did the same for the wings and attached them to the fuselage only to see that the fuselage joints I had spent so much time on had sunken in. I had filled and smoothed them too soon after gluing them together. Disgusted I put it on the shelf over my work bench where it had been staring down at me for years.
The other day I took it down and decided to finish it. The work that had been done was only a few days worth although it looks like more. There is really not much to the kit, just a basic interior which I didn't spend much time with as it won't be seen. The first thing I must do is fix all the sunken joints and a cracked seem on one of the wings, then I'll attack the very ugly wing to fuselage joints shown in the close-ups.
Should have something to show in a day or too.
