One of our club members decided to build his first resin model for our meeting the other night but seems he had a little trouble understanding.
He went out and purchased the materials and was able to get the plane done but seems to have some trouble with shrinkage. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know and I will pass them along.



Couple more pics on the site.

really nice, the "Raisinettes" display team I reckon.. what colour scheme did you use?, any after-market sets for it? give it 2 weeks and I bet there will be a PE set for this!! :-)
plus decals..cant believe I forgot at least 3 decal schemes...

God I'm getting cynical in my old age!!

Martin,
I think it is a stealth type plane, obviously hypothetical.

All you have left to do is gloss it and apply the decals. Weathering will be a natural process called decomposition.

... never heard of that kit! Is it Czech? The boxing is original though. By the way, what scale is it?

Hmmm edible aircraft.......


What was the raisin for this, run out of nuts? :-)

Colour scheme has to be chocolate.

I posted a long long time a suggestion of using bread for making models....now raisin bread....hmmmm.

Cheers

I need to buy that model! It's an exact replica of the plane I flew from Baku to Kabul a couple of years ago.
