Italeri/Kora Ju86 SAAF October 1 2011 at 1:31 AM		(Login touristguide) HyperScale Forums from IP address 196.2.126.175


A while ago, I mentioned that I wanted to use the Kora conversion kit, kindly gifted to me by our "Belgian Model show reporter". Here is the basic kit The mouldings are clean, with fine raised panel lines ( I can live with that) and very little visible flash. The Kora conversion set has some good looking decals And here, I have done a basic clean up of the major resin components, which appear to be very well cast. I found a very interesting link, dealing with the SAAF in the "Abyssinian Campaign", here: http://www.oceanharmony.ca/WRWills%20essay.html Regards Gavin "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." -- Mohandas Gandhi

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature WWI Aircraft Kits.

This Group Build will run until 31 December, 2011.

Build as many kits as you like.

Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

Any markings are acceptable.

Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
