Hello,

I've been working on several projects that have a lot of "fiddley bits", so I wanted to do a quick build for sanity's sake.

Here's the 1/72 Azur Fairchild F-91 first flown in 1935. eight were built in all.






I'll tackle the engine nacelle first.........




Light wash of van dyke brown................



Interior............






Most of this will be concealed by the fuselage.

Needs some thinning..



Some more thinning and a few touch-ups and then time to mate the fuselage halves. I'll probably include seat belts to the cockpit seats......




I'll have more this afternoon. Thanks for looking.

Mark

You're good with a fiddle- cheers!

Here's the fuselage mated together..........




Vacuformed windscreen......





More later,
Mark

Upper wing glued in place....



Test fitting the winscreen..............




Good fit.

Next.............seam fillling .........tomorrow.

Hello all,


Time for an update.....

I'm almost done with filling and sanding seams. I put tape around the seam.... then putty ....then remove the tape. It leaves a nice, small line of putty to sand (one of my least favorite tasks).







Here's a test fit of the canopy and engine nacelle.......





more later.....................

Looks good, Mark. A very nice and simple trick with the tape. I never thought of that despite the trick being simple and straight forward. Thanks for sharing it

Looking forward to see more

Interesting looking aircraft.
Looking good so far.

Thanks Jesper and Dave,

This is a really fun build. Here's a few more pics after sanding the seams. Progressing well................





More later,
Mark
