ccoyle Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share #121 Posted August 7, 2021 All done! I added control horns and/or actuators for ailerons and rudders. Of course, I also found sources that showed such devices for the elevators as well, but with no parts in the kit and no clear illustrations, I opted to go without. Good thing I'm done, too, because I had just barely enough of a couple of edge colors to finish the job. Enjoy the pictures! Now, remind me not to do any more 2-for-1 builds in the near future! 🤪 Keith Black, mtaylor, PRS and 23 others 24 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

CDW Posted August 7, 2021 Share #122 Posted August 7, 2021 Beautiful pair of models. The colors, shape, and overall finish are outstanding.

Danstream Posted August 7, 2021 Share #124 Posted August 7, 2021 They are little beauties! Difficult to believe that they are made of paper. You did an outstanding job in assembling them from flat foils and shaping them into a truly 3D model! Indeed, they are also very graceful airplanes. Are they sealed with some sort of coating once finished?

lmagna Posted August 8, 2021 Share #131 Posted August 8, 2021 I have been a little busy with chores and a couple of projects over the last couple of weeks and did not keep up with your build as well as I should have Chris. But catching up tonight was well worth it. Kind of like binge watching a TV series! Nice work. I have no idea how you guys manage to get such great results using nothing more than paper. If I tried it the results would make the paper dolls my sisters had as children look high end! thibaultron, Canute, ccoyle and 5 others 7 1 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccoyle Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share #137 Posted October 6, 2022 I learned recently that Lech Kołodziejski has set up shop again under the CardPlane name. You can view his store here. Lech has no fewer than four free models available at his site (available as downloads upon request), including the PWS-10 in Spanish Nationalist markings. His PWS-50 and Bartel BM-6a are relatively simple models and well-suited for beginners. Check them out!
