Great start. Following with interest. A pretty good kit for the time with one of Airfix's best box arts too IMHO. RIP Roy Cross.

Finally finished. It has been a long and hard job. Apart from the re-engraving, almost everything had to be filed, adjusted, cut or puttyed. The transparent parts that are glued before closing the fuselage have not turned out very well, since the masks did not fit and had bubbles. I have also had problems with the adjustment of the masks in the other transparent parts, but at least I have been able to complete them with Tamiya tape. The amount of ballast has been enormous (28 gr) and even so, the balance is very precarious (I was afraid to add more because the landing gear legs are very fragile). I think the homemade decals have turned out great. Despite all the problems and defects in the finish, I am quite satisfied with the result. Now, I need to rest and take it easy. The next model I will build will be a Hobby Boss. 🙂. Thanks everyone for the likes, comments and follow-ups.

Very good result. 👍

Thanks everyone! Logan, I'd love to take it to Edmonton for AMPS but that is a double wedding weekend for me.

I thought you were already married Dave?! Who are the other 2 lucky women? LOL!

Very good diorama! Is "Haus Hausbrot" a bakery or just the name of the shopkeeper?

These pictures start a build that gives me my first experience with 'Clear Prop' - and they are good ones! The fineness of the shapes, the accuracy of fit and the meaningfulness of the construction steps seem to combine to create a pleasurable building experience!
This plane is also highly interesting: originally derived as a drone for shooting practice from a small civilian predecessor model, hundreds were pulverised in the air. Some of those that survived this use went on to have an amazing career as light sports aircraft and enjoyed great popularity in the 1940s.

Oh, a brand new kit?
It is hard to keep track all your parallel running builds! You speed of building all those birds is simply unbelievable and a great mystery to me!

Robert Podkoński
I have the same impressions as Bughunter, frankly speaking 🙂 Following this build for sure.

Michael Kohl
Me too

Hello mates! How nice that this small but lovely project has your interest and positive feedback! Indeed, a brand new kit that immediately caught my interest when I stumbled across it - so it ended up on the workbench straight away.
To answer the question about the current density of my projects: on the one hand, I sometimes wonder myself 🙂 On the other hand, I suspect that it has something to do with running three or four, maybe even five (at the moment, for example) projects in parallel . Something is 'always' being finished or started.

I made the following preparations for the bright red of the final surface: first I applied yellow followed by a layer of white to the model. After drying, I sanded this base, which should make the following red "glow", with 1000, 1200 and 2000 grit sandpaper to make the colour layers more transparent again, to get a smooth surface and to find any flaws - you can see a few exposed on the fuselage and tail unit. I am surprised by the very high quality of the kit and look forward to finishing it!

It looks like the Culver PQ-14 is ready! This was a most enjoyable project from start to finish. I am delighted with my first "clear prop" kit and I enjoyed the unusual history of the original. I made the seat belts and the aerial wiring, everything else can be found in the beautifully finished kit.
Thank you for your interest and your helpful and motivating comments!

Robert Podkoński
Simply beautiful!

Neuling
Yes! And good photos.
