Roland SachsenhoferThis is, as usual, a great pleasure for me!
A few new pictures show the unusually constructed hull glued together. Nothing is sanded or filled yet; but I was incredibly curious to see the elegant hull shape and so I took a few pictures right away.

Roland SachsenhoferMates, your comments are quite motivating, thank you for this!

Roland SachsenhoferA few steps further - with some filling and sanding - and things get interesting: Gunze H-14 Orange will be applied as the topside colour!

Erik LeijdensLooks great Roland! Interesting subject, have in stash too. Will be a ML-KNIL machine

Roland SachsenhoferThank you both!
Look forward to the kit Erik; beautifully made and fittingly accurate- and we agree on the merits of this rare specimen! 🙂

Roland SachsenhoferNow some real colour comes into play! After two passes, the Gunze H14 Orange, lightened with a little yellow, is now readily applied. It will be exciting when it comes into visual contact with the NMF on the undersides.

Cristian StieringerHello Roland, I am glad that I am now also on scale mates and can admire your great models here and also comment on them. The B-10 is a rare example on the model building sector.

Roland SachsenhoferI appreciate your feedback, thank you all!
Christian, my friend, feel welcome in this ambitious community of interested and interesting modellers! 🙂

Roland SachsenhoferThe gloss of the clear coat prevents meaningful, good pictures- but I may say, next the decals can be applied!

Roland SachsenhoferA few status pictures of the B-10 slowly turning into the home stretch: the fitting accuracy of the cockpits is causing problems: here, filling and sanding had to be done, now it will be painted and tinted. The last picture shows scratched pitot tubes in unpainted condition and the two exhaust pipes made of drilled out cable insulation.

Roland SachsenhoferThe B-10 has made it off the workbench; in the original as well as in the model, a truly remarkable aircraft! The orange of the top was difficult for me to photograph, in the original it shows a little more colour depth and also the subtle washing I gave it. As the original photos show, these Turkish aircraft were probably kept in a well-maintained condition, which is matched by the rather immaculate appearance of this model.
All in all, a really fine little kit! I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed building it!

Łukasz GlińskiThat escalated quickly. Must be standing out on the shelf, that 'camo' is simply striking 😄

Hanno KleineckeBeautiful Colourscheme, exactly my kind of thing, what a cool looking result !

Roland SachsenhoferThank you for your comments, they make me very glad!!
The camo- oh yes, one look at the decal variants and the choice was made 🙂

Robert PodkońskiFabulous effect and the livery itself tempts me to buy the kit... Congrats, Roland, perfect work as always... and it was the remarkably quick build 🙂

Juergen KlinglhuberWell done Roland - an eyecatcher as usual!
What an extraordinary aircraft model!
23 August 2021, 13:51
Juergen KlinglhuberCan we expect to see it at the Euro Model '21 in a couple weeks?
24 August 2021, 20:57
Roland SachsenhoferYes, absolutely!A few running metres of exhibition space have already been reserved 🙂 I am looking forward to meeting you!

Lex JassiesSo nice to see this kit build. Long ago I build the William Brothers kit as a present for my father, who flew regurarly in this plane as a sergeant mechanic in the Dutch East Indies. His name is mentioned in the book "luchtstrijd rond Borneo"
Very tempting to buy and build this kit (again). Your build looks excellent 👍
25 August 2021, 08:09
Roland SachsenhoferThis is a fascinating story and an almost obligatory thought to build this model! Let me encourage you further: the kit is really well made and leads to a handsome result without any annoyance. By the way, it is a blessing that Special Hobby offers masks 🙂

Stephan H.What a funky bird! Thats really something special. Build quality is great as usual 👍
