All, I've been playing around with making an Fe-2b from scratch and vacforming it...and learning a lot in the process. You can see, for example, the odd wing airfoil (ha, ha) and the odd rib "detail". The next one will be better! But, since this forum is still here and it's 1/72nd... I painted on the wing roundels after painting the basic top and bottom colors for the wings, tails and nacelle. These will be modulated a bit on the next step. I tried using old Aifix decals from an Re-8 on the nacelle...kind of stinky, though... The control surfaces have been separated and all strut and rigging holes are ready to go. I also added the correct dihedral in the top wing. I'll do some more weathering/painting, install the engine and then I have to think about how to make 16 million struts. Wish me luck...Cheers and thanks for looking. Regards, Dan From Tacoma, Washington USA

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.
