Thanks, wish I had more quality time to make progress...'

Here is the stamp(s) I located 3500 miles away in Vancouver BC:

...Trying to locate a model of the Fokker Super Universal

bsyamato,

Interior progressing well, will post some pictures when computer returns from repairs tomorrow!

Having a lucky run getting bits of time on the project, now some paint is down momentum is gaining.

Glad to hear your still making steady progress SuppressionFire .

My CH-3E "Crazy Legs" builds have stalled but only for the moment , hopfully I can get  some more done soon .

John .

Waiting for updates guys suppression hope nothing bad on the computer.

Hope i could get another build here before the GB end, again lots of time then think i'll score somethin

bsyamato,

Bad bill from the repair shop thats all... nothing $120 couldn't handle!

Anyhow here is more:

I finally got some bench time last night and this morning. I made some progress to the project. I am hoping I can do more tonight.

This is what I have so far.

By the way. All those rough parts you see on the nose look worse that what it really is. 

Despite the good reviews this kit got, it has to be one of the most difficult for me. The fit is horrible. There is a lot of sanding and putty work to get this guy to fit okay

Comments, suggestion... all welcomed!!

Excellent work Suppression  i see just now!

Some gaps there Echo 

where's your avatar?

Yeah, I am little disappointed with this kit.  The reviews were so great.  Oh well... 

if fuselage are not yet glued try this trick i used on the condor, probably can help

Lower fuselage was not so perfect on alignement, so i glued plastic strips alternated on the two bottom sides

Okay. So I tackled the seams/gaps with squadron white putty. Wet sanded with 1K grit to a smooth even finish.

Due to the misalignment (step) this will not be wining any awards ANYWHERE!  

Rescribed the panel lines. Only one goof but good enough for Govt. work. So here is where I am so far.


^--- The black line you see is not a shadow. It's whats left of a black mark from a sharpie.





Thank you for looking and as always comments are constructive criticism always welcomed.

LOL! fortunately i don't build 1/48 kits.

At the end seems you win with the canyons 

MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS KIT!!!  GRRRR!  

This will put a hold on progress for a while.

This is a dry fit (Elmer's glue) by the way...

I have not been on here for a while.  I am back to post my finished entry for this group build.
