Welcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.

Nathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch

Welcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.

Working on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.

Looking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.

Thanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁

Welcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…
16 August, 17:41
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Nathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.
16 August, 17:47
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
In this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.

Nathan, are you going to put kill markings on it?

These four pictures begin a project that should result in one of the largest models I have ever attempted. Not the biggest - the 1:32 Liberator holds my record here - but close!
However, the impressively large box contains surprisingly little and, also surprisingly, large components such as the fuselage, wings and tailplane are already assembled. Incidentally, these are made of fibreglass and require their own treatment.
These parts are also stable and clean. A bit of filling was required, as the traces of glue and filler on the seams are very rough and show air pockets. This will now be sanded, the cockpit sawn out and the windows drilled - well, modelling a little differently than usual! 🙂
25 August, 10:20

The panel lines look ok I guess. I mean, I would be happy with those panel lines.

A true behemoth it is. I will surely follow this build with utmost interest!

I believe the last Mars had it's final flight two weeks ago.

I am very happy about all your interest! In fact, I also started this project because of its topicality; the pictures of the last flight of Hawai Mars are always a heart-warming pleasure; this one in particular, thanks Gorby for posting it!
Today I drilled the openings for the windows in the fuselage; I determined the diameter of the holes from kit glass parts. They seem a bit big to me, but we'll see. As I'm not going to use the clear parts from the kit, but want to make them with Klearfix, I could reduce the diameter quite a bit.
The next steps will be to finish sanding the fuselage seams - now only the top side has to be done - and then to glue the wings and stabilisers to the fuselage. To do this, I'm cutting solid steel rods to length, which I'll glue in place with a two-component adhesive.
The Mars should be ready by mid-October: I want to take it to the Euromodel in Ried, Upper Austria.
And yes, In fact, the more or less finished Fairchild F.91 had to serve as a scale model in the background! 🙂

26 October 2020, 16:30
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Yes frank, this thing only existed as a very poorly thought out patent. I've been looking through Google patents and it's amazing how many other misguided monstrosities are buried in there.

Yet another double trouble update for anyone with the stamina to last the course. Don't worry, not long to go now (just DON'T ask about the dio unless you want to see a grown man cry).

Thanks very much Rui mate. 👍
I just wish I could paint and weather as well as you can - that's usually when it goes down-hill for me.😉
17 November 2020, 09:52

that looks very impressive, can you make some size comparison picture of your model ?

Thank you too for that, Gorbygould. Very pleasant to read, but I think your work don't have down-hills, even in painting or weathering.
17 November 2020, 14:08
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Daniel: 😄 😄 😄 What a fabulous contraption - I'm half tempted to build it.
You're too kind Rui, but I know that I'm not good at painting because I don't enjoy it, so I usually rush it to get it over with. I just enjoy putting the bits together – perhaps I'm channelling my inner toddler with the Lego I used to love playing with.😉
17 November 2020, 16:34
![](/profiles/img/46361-416-s.jpg)
Im the same Gorby,prefer the modelling aspect rather than the painting.
17 November 2020, 17:12
![](/profiles/img/18819-984-s.jpg)
Well, i've to say that I also, prefer the construction part, even if it's a dio, but without paint it dosen't work. I even avoid painting subassemblies 🤔 but because I like dios, I've to handle figure painting. They are too difficult and take a lot of time, AHRRR 🙁
17 November 2020, 20:08
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Tell me about it – I've just painted 51 1/72 figures for the dio for this monstrosity, although admittedly I stop short of following your lead and didn't paint their nails.😉
18 November 2020, 12:24
![](/profiles/img/18819-984-s.jpg)
Did you notice that? 😄
51? Where are you going to locate all that troop?
18 November 2020, 14:49
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Yes I did notice that - you must be bloody mad. 😄
At the moment I have no idea if all 51 are going to fit on the dio - perhaps I need some sort of plan? 😄

Thanks mates. I've still the dio to do - currently about two thirds done. At the moment I'm making hundreds of tiny sandbags - remind me, this is supposed to be fun isn't it?😉
21 November 2020, 16:35
![](/profiles/img/26469-299-s.jpg)
And again a real cool project...just getting in now, but what i see is fantastic...i really love your Scratchwork! Which Side is front?? The big roller i think, that would mean the cannons look backwards...absolute crazy!
Hope you build all the other crazy vehicles shown on that site you posted earlier...
21 November 2020, 18:12
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)

![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Thanks very much mates. You will be seeing this monstrosity again when the diorama is complete. 👍
I'm sorry to disappoint you – my next project is to reduce my ludicrously excessive stash of ELEVEN kits! What on earth possessed me to buy so many?😉
Scratching the ridiculously is very addictive, so I'm sure I won't be able to stay away for long.
Michael: Yes the giant roller is at the front. It does take some brain readjustment to understand why ALL the main guns are pointing towards their own troops. What was Jehlik thinking! 😄
22 November 2020, 06:53
![](/profiles/img/26469-299-s.jpg)
Only 11 kits in stock?? Oh my god, that explains why you do that much scratching...i have 10 times of you in stock and always find something to build...from scratch...and every time i made a scratchmodel it comes out as a plastic-kit from a large manufacturer in the next year...last thing to build was a "Boarhound"...should be on display in Vienna in last June (GO Modelling)....will sadly never happen again due to Corona and austrian officials....
And i still wonder if the tank of jehlik was for America in the first line or for export to some "not so heroic" country...to shoot at fleeing soldiers was very popular in former times...
22 November 2020, 12:14
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Whoaa!!! Very cool and with paint and weathering absolutely stunning !!!
22 November 2020, 12:40
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
Really looking great Gorb. Very addicting indeed, for all of us hooked on your journeys. Looking forward to the dio 👍
22 November 2020, 13:49
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
😄 😄 😄 – Oh yeh! Robo vac with attitude. 😄
Thanks very much matiepoos I'm pleased it meets with your approval. Not sure about the weathering myself, I sort of closed my eyes and threw mud at it.
Yes 11 kits Michael – but they seem to be 11 eternal kits. It seems that even if I build a kit, I count the stash afterwards and it's STILL 11 bloody kits – how does that happen? I even took one shoe and sock off last time I counted them.😉
Annnyyyway – more bloody sandbags to make. 🙁

![](/profiles/img/18819-984-s.jpg)
Hahaha ok. I do not ignore you, and surely don't mind look at your work 👍. Don't quite understand, why you didn't paint their nails, hehehe.😄 Looking forward to see the dio here😎
28 November 2020, 13:29
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Of course I painted the fingernails Rui, you're just not looking closely enough.😉
I stopped short of painting the whites of their eyes because people start shooting when they see the whites of their eyes and that seems downright antisocial to me.

Oh boy! I thought you just took a lint roller and painted it green, but you were really serious about that one. Still haven't made up my mind what's more incredible: the build or the story you fabricated. Be it as it may, I enjoyed both a lot.

Hi Gorby,
It never bothers me to see Great Different Interesting works, that for sure also deserve to be shown and seen by the most recent mates.

There isn't any blood because I suspect they'd be able crawl away faster than it would be able to move. 😉
