a lot of putty will appear here, as annouced :D

Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉

Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm

That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍

As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!
and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

What an audience I have... I feel a bit under pressure now 😉 @Martin - you're right, at least the polistyrene seems to be of a good quality.

Extra like for the striking project title 😂! I expected an old KP kit first…

Soo many seams.... Watching this tutorial for sure 😉. OMG, Robert, that's quite a critique of MACH, kits.... Good Luck!

It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.

Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!
27 August, 22:30
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄
The photos of the kit parts show that you really have a lot of work ahead of you.

Hi Robert, Haha! 'da Putty Party'... Love it!... Following with great interest 🙂
28 August, 10:29

Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄
28 August, 13:40

I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.
28 August, 13:45
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.

In view of the start of this build, I was tempted by the following motto: "From ugly duckling to swan": the kit offers a number of interesting challenges, but gives an idea of the potential both as a model and as a representation of a true aircraft beauty! I will try my best to make the swan appear....
A first challenge: roughly moulded parts, poor fit and a wing that wants too much in a positive V-position.... A second challenge will follow in the form of a Vacu canopy that has turned yellow with age; this will give me the opportunity to try out the doing in Vac-canopy myself. More of that next time...

Nice aircraft !
One was used in the last phase of the New Guinea gold rush in the 30's...
Good luck !

Great, Roland!
I would like to see the steps you follow when making the Vac-canopy.
9 August, 17:52
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thank you for your interest, I appreciate it!
Cuajete, I'd be happy to show you a few photos of the progress of the construction and application of the self-moulded Vac canopy. It seems to have produced a reasonable result so far....
10 August, 17:25
![](/profiles/img/14213-529-s.jpg)
An unusual subject Roland! No doubt you will end up with a fantastic result
10 August, 17:34
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Many thanks, Roland!
Great job with the putty party and vacuum canopy 👍
What thermoformer did you use?
10 August, 18:22
![](/profiles/img/57594-660-s.jpg)
This look like an intriguing project, but she's definitely a putty queen! I am super impressed with the vac-forming!
10 August, 19:02
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thank you very much for the answers, mates! I'll show you a few new pictures from today: the surfaces have been reworked with 2000 grit sandpaper (even if it may not look like it, dusty as the "duckling" still is) to prepare it for a first coat of paint. This will certainly show the need for correction! 🙂
11 August, 09:28

New pictures of the current state of construction: the 'Baby Clipper' still looks very dark, but in the next step it will get an 'Azur' blue underside, which will be completed by 'Middle Stone' and 'Dark Earth' on the upper sides. Since prototype photos already show this machine with heavy signs of use and weathering, I will endeavour to achieve a similar look here.
14 August, 09:26

The 'Baby Clipper' has lost some of its elegance with all the rods and struts, but has gained in authenticity. A certain amount of effort is required to reconstruct the entire antenna equipment - not exactly a small amount - but also the structurally necessary struts: the kit manufacturer Azur does not provide any information here, let alone that it would put material for this in the box. The entire superstructure at the top of the engine nacelle is the result of own research. Everything was made from wire, cable insulation (exhaust pipes) and MG muzzles joined together (pitot tubes). The floats under the wings are braced with super-fine steel wire, which, by the way, is a very versatile material. The instructions also make no reference to the tailplane struts, which were also made by the builder.
However, most of the work has gone into the undercarriage! This was, to summarise, so heavily modified that it can actually be described as newly constructed from etched parts and wire from the leftover box.
So, I've already written a lot, but there's one more point: I'm particularly curious to see how my first self-built Vacu canopy performs on this project. I'm a bit anxious, but also very excited to see what the unmasking that will soon follow will show!
24 August, 06:52

I agree with Marko.
A challenge with great resolution. Great job so far, Roland. And very nice painting job 👍

Thank you for these motivating words, quite appreciated!! On now to the final act of this project...
25 August, 10:23
![](/profiles/img/57594-660-s.jpg)
I agree with all comments above. I must say, I like way you attached the wires and struts - usually there is a bit of a lump of superglue where they attach to the fuselage, but you managed to make the connection points very neat.
25 August, 10:53
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thanks mates for all the motivating responses! Thomas, I try to solve the problem of gluing in wires by always drilling holes at both ends, into which I then 'clamp' the wire that has been cut off a little too long. Before gluing, I let some glue into the opening via a wire tip and then insert the wire within the time that the glue remains liquid. This usually works more or less well, I'm glad you like it.

From ugly duckling to..... well, the Fairchild F.91 is now finished! I am pleased to be able to present it to you - also because it was not an easy build in some parts. One of the new features is the use of a deep-drawn cockpit canopy for the first time, as you can see in this build report. Incidentally, the windows on the fuselage are not from the kit, but clear film cut as accurately as possible - at least it looks better.
Thank you for your interest and your comments, mates!

Very nice 💯% well done 👍👍.
Really like it, Do you have a vacform?? Or did you make something up ?
Nice kit/subject 👌

Thank you for your comments, which make me happy and motivate me! Mr D, I've actually had a small thermoforming machine for a few weeks now, which after a bit of testing has been used here for the first time in 'live action'. It's interesting to note that there seems to be some interesting equipment and techniques for modellers in the dental field.
27 August, 07:32
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Thanks, l think I've seen the one you mean, be handy item.
I broke the canopy on my little 1:144 mig-23 polishing it !!
I had to make one best l could with toaster n paintbrush end.🙄🤣
Not perfect....but at least l could finish the model." Disclaimer .. not recommending this technique" 🤣
Thanks for advice.👍

Mates, thank you very much for the comments! Mr D, you were successful and didn't give in - congratulations!

Cockpit canopy, is glued in now, the un-masked panels are to be painted with fuselage..as on actual aircraft.
