Oh a Lego build! I love it.

Is that the Airfix (or US Starfix) kit Bernie?

Repaired my boy's Churchill tank (Airfix, 1:76), which was short shot.

The D1A2. I finally attached the little ones. Replaced weaklings with thicker plastic of same size and length.

B2M2 repeating the same process with the smaller ones on it as well.

Later today the machine guns and other tiny pieces needing attachment.

Good stuff Jesse.

And for this reason it is better to have a look at a couple of images more and drawings comparing the kit content to the real aircraft. It is as basic as the main rule for gluing. The more details of the replicated plane you know the easier is assembling of its model.

It's the Roden kit, great detail but very small guide holes . I needed to drill the holes bigger

A pity. Why didi it come off?

 

[Viking1066]

The struts are quite thin. I reattached them and let them sit for a day or two.

 

[Wurger]

Copied that.

Been fiddling with this for a few days.

Academy 1/48.
