During my searching on the internet, I found a few interesting planes (actually just designs from Luft46) of which are no kits available.
I have no idea of what I’m getting myself into, how long it will take, if I’m ever going to succeed, but I want to make one of those cool Luft 46-planes fully scratchbuild, I was planning to do this for the Paper airplanes GB.
However, as I know that there not many of us trying to do a scratchbuild for a complete model I thought this just might be an idea for a GB.
Anybody interested ???
My idea :
Any subject Any scale At least 90% from scratch (instrumentpannels, wheels, seats, canopies… can be kitbashed) Open Ended
Starting date has by for not been determined, Dominique, and by looks of the replies, I doubt if many of our distinguished colleagues feel up to the challenge.
But, Cooper, how do you measure out 90% non-scratchbuilt parts. Is it done by the measurement of the piece, or by 1 out of ten pieces of the model non-scracthbuilt? Could I build almost thee entire body out of another kit, or is it only small, detail parts?
Depending on the rules, I could be game, but it would be my first scratch-build.
That 90% is only to indicate that most of the model needs to be scratchbuild.
So as an answer to your question ; No you could not build-up the body from other kits, only details and (if applicable) the interior, wheel wells, wheels, l/c etc…
Don’t worry about it being your first s/c, I have recently started my first one too, you can see it at… http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?page=1&TOPIC_ID=34560
