Less talk mere graftin'...!

Ok, progress is going kinda slow, but I'll post a shot of the hole in my fuselage that is supposed to have a sad little man "floating" in mid-air (actually perched on those pegs shown in the photo)...

Also seen in the photo are a number of issues:
1) remarkable square intake
2) interesting cowl "bulge"
3) windscreen to cowl base is about as straight as my gait after a long night at the watering hole...

And now for the fun part...

I'll just post the photo of the decal sheet and it's instructions without a comment...words will not do these gems any justice at all...

* The decal sheet is roughly 2 ½" x 2 ½" (6.3cm x 6.3cm) *

Wow, bringing back memories! I built several of these. 'nuff said!

Grau, if you need spares, like a cockpit or something I can check my stash. May have something.

 

[lesofprimus]

Im sorry, but that is the saddest excuse ofr an accurate model Ive ever seen... Square intake???

WTF, over....

 

[Njaco]

The worst part, Dan, is I bought a bunch for $1 apiece - just to screw around with. My local hobby shop sells them for $8.99!!!

Now we know why 'Starfix' didn't last long! Should be an 'interesting' build Dave. Can't help with parts or decals I'm afraid, as I haven't got anything in 1/72nd.

Well, that would explain your grey and thinning hair then....

Thanks NJ, I appreciate the offer!

I found the "cockpit" that is referred to in the instructions.

It's two peices of flat plastic that had come loose from the tree, and wandered to the bottom of the bag.

Still leaves alot to be desired, and there's isn't a dashboard. But I think that with a little paint and creativity, I can make something up from a spare peice of plastic I have sitting around here...

I might need a hand with some decals, though.

Schilling had a yellow one, and a yellow staffel marking on the blue band. Plus 1/48 Balken crosses. As you noticed in my previous post, the decals are nasty. I might be able to paint the yellow 1 and bar on (oh now you just know that won't turn out well...), but I'll certainly need the Grunherz insignia...

Who talked me into doing this?

 

[lesofprimus]

LMAO......

 

[Wurger]

Eh.....

I bet my last h**ker money that it was a certain dog hotel trainee that got you into this smelly, hallucination provoking, wobbly pile of fly infested horse sh*t...

 

[Wayne Little]

David, I may well be able to come up with some decals for you, will check...

 

[GrauGeist]

Thanks Wayne!

[Wayne Little]

[Airframes]

Nice work Wayne. I love this forum, and this Group Build idea; everyone is so willing to help each other. OK , I've seen it a Club level, when I used to be a member, but World wide? It's brilliant!

 

[Njaco]

I agree!
