Co-build with the Z-XII.

Likewise information non-existent, but according to kit instructions this aircraft was operated by the Luftwaffe as a Liaison aircraft.

[A4K]

G'day guys!

Cheers for the interest! Comments and photos as per the Z-XII thread, the builds being identical at this stage:


Slow progress so far, but main injected parts off the sprues and being carefully cleaned up.

First pic for Wayne to show size.

The cockpit floor with pedals is for Ivett's bird (SE-AGS), and is stock kit configuration. By all accounts the rudder pedals are invisible when the fueslage halves are joined unfortunately.

Scouring the net has revealed almost no reliable cockpit information, so my best references are the somewhat simplified kit instruction drawing and various partial shots.
The build subjects will be detailed as accurately as possible under the circumstances.

Looks like you have a production line going there Evan

A nice start Evan. The fuselage seems to be 9,5cm long. Not too much. Really tiny.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Wow, that's a tiny bird!

Just measured her up, and she'll be 105.5 mm with rudder, prop and resin cowl installed. Not big, but I have smaller in the stash!
