Indeed! I'm with David. Just WOW, though maybe if a build is pushing you to the bottle, it's a build too far! 😁😂 Looks like you overcame the difficulties and produced a fabulous end result though. Kudos. 👍👍
Surprized,I have built a couple of Roden kits and they were pretty good.
Album info
I'm not a show-quality modeler, but I've built enough to know that this model was way above my paygrade.
Kit Issues: There were no locator pins to speak of. Instructions were too small and sparse to correctly identify alignments (esp on the engine assemblies and engine/mounts/wings. Wings were butt-jointed and kept breaking (I ended up inserting pins). And the wiring detail didn't even match the box art. Also note the poor molding in the early pictures.
Firsts: Biplane, extreme weathering, mastering superglue (Loctite SuperGlue Gel in the wee bitty bottles, plus the needle trick). LEGO!!!
What went wrong: Busted wing joints, misaligned engines, poor attachment of guide wires.
What I'm proud of: I finished the damn thing vs throwing it out.
