Here are the remaining port-side cockpit parts. Fun, eh? And here is half of the port side completed. Onward!

Johnny has provided a great overview of the kit. I remember maybe twenty years that one of the modeling magazines (might have been Ships in Scale) did a review of the newest Constructo version available at the time, and the reviewer's verdict was that it wasn't a bad kit for the money and represented a step up in quality compared to earlier Constructo kits. That being said, I don't think you'll get much argument against the Constructo kit being several steps down from the Caldercraft kit, and even the Caldercraft version is a bit dated, since kit design in general has advanced significantly in recent years. Cheers!

Remember the old adage about treating every sub-assembly as a separate model? Takes time, but it works. Here's a bank of setting levers. What do they control? No idea. 😂 Merry Christmas to all of you merry model makers!!

Arado Ar-196 by Ian B - FINISHED - PLASTIC - German seaplane

Fabulous! As I posted before, you've made her look just as of she has done some hard shipboard service. -
If you end up being unhappy with the final result, you can always opt to fill, sand, and paint. This is how some of our Polish friends produce their immaculate hulls. Of course, most of them seem capable of producing immaculate hulls without the extra effort, so there's that. 😋

Technics to attach the sails to the yards
ccoyle replied to Amedeo Riga's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
The nautical term you are looking for is bending. Sails were bent to yards in various ways depending on the type of sail, era, and nationality of the vessel. If you can provide those details, our members may be able to direct you to some resources. -
Welcome aboard, Rui!

@SaltyDog Your photos are not showing. You may need to convert them to a different file type, such as a .jpg. Most members will not bother clicking on links.

Welcome aboard! You'll probably want to message @James H about closing your old account, if it still exists.

Welcome aboard!

Doing and re-doing things until you are absolutely satisfied is a mark of the true master. Doing things until they look good enough, but not necessarily great is the mark of . . . well, of me! 😅

A lovely pair of models! We owe a great debt of gratitude to the men and women who designed and built these less-glamorous warbirds, without which the Allies could not have trained up the legions of pilots who went on to fly more famous aircraft.

Revell 1:96 Cutty Sark after-market decals?
ccoyle replied to Terry Lawson's topic in Plastic model kits
Hi, Terry! I have moved your topic to the section where I think it is a more natural fit, and I have edited the title to hopefully attract more eyeballs to your question. Hope you find what you're looking for! -
Welcome aboard, Andy!

That is looking very sharp!

Looking good!

Most hull plating (which I try to avoid by sticking to waterline models) in my experience is designed so that adjacent plates abut each other atop a frame. Some kits include joiner strips. Carry on!

I am always so impressed by guys that can do their own metalwork!

Welcome aboard! Your model looks great -- happy you were able to restore it.

Well, that changes things. I didn't see those kits on their website. The e-commerce listings suggest to me that they are simply rebranding or reselling kits produced by known copycats -- which places them squarely in the 'naughty' camp. See what I did there? Christmas, dontcha know.

From their website, it doesn't appear that they manufacture kits, only finished display models, so they're not really something we would concern ourselves with.
