Hello dearest, here I am again for you. I don't write much because I have very little time unfortunately, but I always follow you. In my first tripplane "Fokker" 1/72 I added the tie rods at the end using very thin nylon threads. The problem was finding suitable threads. I tried with the cotton ones but it turned out to be a real opprobrium, as was easily predictable. I see you've opted for simplicity. It's beautiful like that too.
Don't despare ,KP decals are troublesome. This looks like the old CMR resin kit, which I built some years ago, it took quite a bit of work, to get right. The Copper state 1/48th kit is very good, I can recommend it.👍
I don’t blame you for your voice,im also in the uk and i have had a cold for the last month,however i love biplanes,and as i am polish,those markings are beatiful!🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱Can’t wait to see more polish vehicles,maybe a polish marked sherman!
Pudel (The Panther) would certainly be a fun one,and if we are talking kit wise,Meng or Takom are definetly good ones!Can’t wait to see that and wish you have a merry christmas!
I built their Avia B-9. I had fit problems with the fuselage halves and cockpit tub fits, also as yourself with the undercarriage. The packaging and the parts while on the spruce looked neat but I feel these products are overpriced for the quality. Decals were really nice though. Well done for persevering and not slagging KP off just because you were disappointed.
Re decals, I always seem to have issues with those printed in Eastern Europe. Eduard, ICM, they would just stick to the model and not move. Nice build!
I guess this was kind of a palette cleanser for you, MN, wasn't it? After all, you could use it to practice your "battle damage on airplanes" skills 😁Get well soon and have nice holidays - see you next week, cheers, Mike
In halfway through a sopwith-pup 1/72 and i ruined the decal sheet so i was thinking of a simple countrys markings i could possibly paint and Poland was my first thought, thanks for posting hope you dont mind me stealing some of your great ideas
1:72 scale was my first choice for aircrafft models when I started modeling in the 70s/80s have done a few WW1 aircraft in the last few years so know how fidaly it can be fair play it came out OK. been there when you finnishing off putting the decals on and it all goes to pot.
LOL I'm going the other way all my 1:72 aircraft hang from my loft I do a lot more 1:35 armourd vehicles these days with a few 1:48 aircraft. @@ModelNerd
I hope you feel better soon. I have been unwell with a bad cold for a week and now I have got COVID so that is Xmas ruined as i can't go near aged relatives!! I kind of agree that that kit doesn't look right. I think the struts are a bit out of scale. Maybe if you painted them a darker wood colour they may look better or alternatively try scraping them a bit thinner and narrower.
Can't say heard of either the plane or the manufacturer,but good work . I quite like these cheap model's ,keeps us poor folk ticking over till birthday or Christmas😂😂
Shame about the quality of this kit and good on for taking it through to the end. I guess that it's not been one of your best but as long as it was enjoyable then it's fine. I have the CSM Nieuport in my stash and it's a beauty! Take care, MN, get well, enjoy your break from work and may Santa bring you some great modelling gifts.
Thank you Robbo! There's a video of my plans for 2024 coming out next week, but already there are a couple of things I want to add to it! :) (Like the CSM kits)
Nice build Mr Nerd considering. I heard that KP decals had to be put in really hot almost boiling water but I've never tried it. You probably would of been better off painting the Polish insignia mate. Hope your feeling better

Thanks. I would add the rigging on bigger scales like 1/48 (or on this kit if the quality was better). I will definitely add it on my 1/32 WnW kit! :)
This looks amazing mate. I love how you go off the beaten track with your subjects. We must grab a coffee if you come Hendon again!
Thanks! Sounds good mate!
Nice build. Have a great Christmas 🎄
Thank you Dave. You too!

Thank you mate - I'll definitely check them out in the new year.
Coolest thing about it is the polish markings, didnt turn out all that bad, some of them 1/72 WW1 planes are tough sometimes
Thanks Jason

Thanks! I was definitely thinking of a Polish-marked tank - maybe the Panther that was captured during the Warsaw Uprising?

Thanks. I haven't build many Eduard or ICM kits but I've heard similar things. Maybe I've been spoilt by Cartograph :)

Thanks Mike. Yes, it was a nice change.
Get well soon 🙂
Thank you
You did your best.
Thanks
Hope you are
feeling better and the model has potential but you would need to be feeling well. Good video 📹
Cheers mate. Yeah, slowly getting better.

Sounds good. The Polish insignia should be one of the easiest. RAF roundels are also fairly easy, if you have a circle cutter.

I don't do many 1/72 fighters but I am being pushed that way by lack of shelf space and running out of mainstream subjects :)

Oh no, sorry to hear that Allan. The worst time for it to strike. I hope you feel better soon.

Hehe. There is something to be said for them, for sure.

Pegasus did one in 1/72 scale long time ago.
Thanks - I didn't know that

Thanks mate. I think you're right about the masking and painting. I'll have to remember the boiling water trick for next time too.
🤝👍
Nice build, I think you made the best of a poor quality kit there, which is a bit of a shame. Have a nice Christmas and a Merry New Year.
Thank you mate. Merry Christmas!
well done. Oh hate it, ehen the decals in such a bad condition
Cheers. Yeah, kinda spoils a build. Oh well, could be worse I guess!
