Ahoy Fellows
Back at the build again, for the update build report I have most of the assembly completed and I added the final primer coat. The wing floats will be added later after they have been painted...... The slow process will be the painting of the model since the great folks of Trumpeter neglected to add the wing walk decals and the tail band and the wingtips they will have to be painted, a lot of work to say the least,The undercarriage has been added and the fuel tanks are added as well.. The kit gives two sets of undercarriages one plastic and the other is metal I elected the metal ones they will give the model much more added strength to carry the weight of the plane. not very many parts to the kit around 200 or so parts complete the kit. So far in the assembly there are no bad fit issues other then a lot of cleaning is done due to the sprues the sprues on trumpeter kits are everywhere a lot of cleaning is done to achieve a good fit. The kit in General is not to bad of a kit way over priced for what you get, No more Trumpeter kits for me I am not that rich to afford such lavish life style kits . Here is the update build treport fellas on the albatross.
