Cheers Gregory. Tell you what. PM me your e-mail address, and I'll send you a scan of the plans I have. Then you can let me know what you think of them. More progress on the Macchi tonight. Sanded down the gloop on the wings and one half of the fuselage prior to scribing. Definate possibilities here...

It's thick enough, and I'll only do a light scribe. Should be ok. However: This kit is crap. 1. The entire fuselage length is shorter than the scale plans provided, and they look pretty good against builds I've seen on the net. Go figure! 2. The fuselage hump behind the pilot's head is too short, an...

And it is so hard to soar like an eagle when you fly with a turkey.... Well, I'm going to persevere with this lump of plastic. All the panel lines are going to be filled in with my home made goo of glue and sprue (from injection kits), and that'll just have to do. I've already slathered the wings, a...

So, you prefer to use that stuff instead of superglue Gregory? I'm looking around for an alternative to CA for the build, as I want something with a slightly slower setting time! I've just checked the fuselage halves against the supplied scale drawings with the kit, and I'm amazed how a manufacturer...

Thanks for the replies guys. The white blobby prop looking thing contains the metal prop and spinner on the other side of the sheet! I just didn't shoot it.. Will do when I get round to it. There are also some metal parts for the undercarriage (very basic) and the wheels are also metal. I'm not goin...

Gull Models 1:48 Macchi C.202
I started this kit over on a vac-form group build on Britmodeller.com Gregory Jouette asked if I could post the build progress up here, as he thought you guys might like to see it. I don't know much about this manufacturer at all. Nothing in fact. I trawled the net and found one chap on a forum (who...
