Friedrichshafen FF-33E (Techmod 1/48)
Hello.
Well, I still succumbed to the temptation ... I could not resist buying the PART's PE add-ons for Techmod's FF 33E cockpit. The Techmod kit contains the essential:   Some PE parts should be rebuilt because they are too thin The cage-like structure which must represent the upright (horizontal and vertical) of the fuselage is too large by almost 1.5mm. So you can sand the fuselage or redone the structure. The PE sides fits perfectly in the cockpit. I covered the side of the PE structure with Evergreen (0.5 X 0.4 mm).   Large flat pieces, tank and floor are curved in their width (on my add-ons anyway). I have not managed to flatten the floor and I decided to redo it with plastic card. The metal is very rigid and keeps its shape after having repeatedly softened over a flame.  The two sides are set in the fuselage with tape. The floor is introduced by the front and glued. The crossbars are glued to the end.  The floor is painted as usual and covered with brown ink (mixed with varnish) When the ink is dryer, it is sanded in some areas. Regards.

I'm looking forward to this build, Louis. The Parts PE is pretty extensive on this one. I'll be taking notes. Oh, wait! I don't have to. I'll just save it. Thanks for pioneering this for us.
Cheers, Bud |
