Hello Everyone,
I've just joined FSM and have enjoyed looking at some of the impressive builds over the last 15 months since I started building in January 2014 after retiring in June 2013. I've learned a lot of modeling skills from watching other modelers videos on YouTube and their build threads in modeling forums, and, I feel I've come quite a way since my first build wherein I had no knowledge of things such as priming, pre-shading, pin-washes, washes, filters, chipping, post-shading etc. So, with that said, I'd like to share with you my latest, build #17 since I started modeling, which is the fabulous kit manufactured by Revell of Germany that is very well engineered, highly detailed and which I built out of the box. My only additions were scratch built tie-ropes at the sides of the fuselage, the float and strut rigging and the tie cable that goes from the port-side wing to the portside fuselage when the wing is displayed folded back. I also added the antenna cables.
Well, I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I enjoyed putting this kit together! I highly recommend this kit, it is great value for the money for all of the details that are included on the 14 sprues- 13 grey and one clear, plus cartograf decals! I had zero issues with this kit, it went together like a dream and no silvering occurring with the decals, which sat nicely in place when using Walthers Decal setting solution to fix them.
If you'd like to watch my YouTube video for the "Final Reveal" of this build series that I did on YouTube, here is the link:

Thanks for taking a look and for any comments left, in advance!
Cheers,
Martin :)
