Gents,
My 1/285 scale Ki-27 build, kinda difficult to see what is going on. I will update that soon with some pictures. In the meantime, something a tad easier for you to see here. For fun, wanted to build something a bit bigger than usual, less eye strain. I decided on my most favorite, the GUSTAV!
Scaled plans, glued them to the .040" styrene, cut around with nippers, filed to the line
time to laminate
center and a side 'lam'
more laminations, note causing taper by 'stepping' the plastic on the rear fuselage
last of the lamination
some file work
close of shop FRI nite, 2x 2-hour sessions
