Cheers, Gorby. it's a quick build, only nine stages, but I'm still concerned about the single load bearing joint between the two halves.

Good to see you, Alec. As you can guess, this is gonna be a big show. There's gonna be a lot of cutting, a lot of editing, and of course, I'll be scratching out new parts. At this point, I'm still planning the build process. But work on the model will soon be in full swing.
3 June, 22:57
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Welcome, Pierre, I'm very pleased to see your interest. I hope you find my rebuilding interesting.
The manufacturer of the Avia BH.9 model states 1/48 scale on the box. Actually the model is made in a slightly smaller scale 1/50. I don't mind that in this case. The Avia BH.10 is very similar to the Avia BH.9, but because it is a single-seat aircraft, it is smaller overall than the Avia BH.9. . So even if I build a single seat Avia BH.10 in 1/48 scale, I will be scaling down the fuselage and wing parts from the kit. I have been comparing the fuselage and wing parts to a 1/48 scale drawing of the Avia BH.10 and wondering how to scale the parts down to fit the desired shape and size.
4 June, 08:14
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Nice project! The BH-10 will fit nicely between your finished BH-9 and BH-11 👍
4 June, 19:35
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Frank, you make a good point. The Avia BH.10 will add to my collection of Avia BH series monoplanes from the 1920s. They are very interesting and modern aircraft for their time, if only because biplanes dominated the skies at that time.
4 June, 22:19
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Successful reshaping of kit parts 👍
Not very much left of the kit, but it looks like that way needs less work compared to a full scratch build.
6 June, 18:31
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
That's right. Due to the great similarity of the fuselage and wings of both Avia's, it is easier to modify these parts than to produce completely new ones. Still, there will be a lot of work involved in building the model.
At the moment I have the basic parts roughly ready. I still have to work on them. I will have to do some puttying and sanding. And then fill in all the details.
7 June, 10:33
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
Nice progress. Watch, KP will release their 1/72 kit in 48 just as you finish… 😉 😄
7 June, 13:19
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
I'm not really worried about that. Even if it happens, I'm fine with it. Avia BH.10 in 1/72 scale is not very accurate. And if KP goes the route of enlarging parts of the 1/72nd scale model while making a 1/48th scale model (which I think is very likely), it will transfer all the errors of the original model to the new one. Plus, I really like these "crazy" rebuilds. It's a lot of fun for me. 😉
7 June, 14:23
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
I fully agree, scratch builds and conversions are a lot of fun. I'll have to compare the KP kit to drawings before starting mine 👍
7 June, 19:51
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Alec, before building a model you have to choose which machine you want to build. I'm building a first production run machine, but KP's 1/72 scale kit is a second production run machine. Otherwise there were machines with special modifications. And be careful which drawing you want to use. Some drawings are not very accurate (for example the drawing from Modeler 7/1986).
I have described the basic differences between the first and second production series machines in the attached photo.
9 June, 10:12
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Alec, you can find a lot of useful information about Avia BH.10 on Czech Modelforum in Pavel Kloucek's overviews.
Information about machines from the first production run can be found here: modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=310&t=143236
And information about the machines of the second production series is here: modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=310&t=143254
A lot of interesting information about the Avia aircraft designed by Benes and Hajn is in this book: nasevojsko.eu/nasevo..onstrukce-Benes-Hajn
I sent you a PM about the drawings.
9 June, 17:11
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Unfortunately I only have one period photo of the cockpit, which shows the instrument panel and the right side of the cockpit.
I'm working from the drawing to create the controls and instruments on the left side of the cockpit and floor, with the help of photos of the Avie BH.11 cockpit.
Since the Avie BH.9, 10 and 11 have the same engine and very similar construction, I think most of the cockpit controls were designed very similarly, if not identically.
14 June, 21:52

Welcome my friends! Thank you for your interest and popdoru. I really appreciate it.
15 June, 21:53
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
I finished the cockpit. After gluing the starboard side to the cockpit, I'll mount the cockpit to the fuselage.
15 June, 22:09
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
Your prop effort beats mine. I tried with sandwitched colored paper infused with resin but needed a painted color overlay. I need to try with correct colored card stock next time.
16 June, 01:20
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Making a propeller out of coloured cardboard was an experiment for me. I wondered if it would work.
16 June, 23:43
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
I finished making the cockpit. Now I'm going to glue the bottom of the fuselage and then putty and sand the fuselage.
16 June, 23:54
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
It was time to puttying and sanding. We'll see how many times I have to repeat this cycle.
19 June, 21:47
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Villiers, welcome! Good to see you again.
This aeroplane is very simple and there are very few small details on it. But the few that are on it, I'll be sure to pay attention to. 😉
Bughunter,
maybe your plan to buy shares in the putty maker will pay off. At least in my case the putty maker made a profit 😄.
I know the fuselage doesn't look good with a heavy coat of putty. But the hull needed that layer of putty on the bow. I had to fill in all the joints and minor unevenness. There won't be much putty left on the hull after sanding, but since the putty shrinks as it dries, it's hard to tell ahead of time where more putty is needed and where maybe not. In this case, more is better.
20 June, 10:15
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
The fuselage, wings and tail surfaces are ready for minor detailing. In the end I just needed one rough puttying, sanding, spraying surfacer, one fine puttying of minor defects, sanding again and final surfacer.
21 June, 16:34

![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
After a short vacation I returned to building the Avia. I haven't had much time to build it yet.
I taped the tail surfaces with masking tape so I could spray thin strips of surfacer on the ribs.
To indicate the slight sagging of the canvas on the wing surfaces that were only covered with canvas, I started scraping these surfaces very gently with a round-bladed scalpel. Once I had completed this operation on both wings, it was my turn to cover them with masking tape so that I could spray strips of surfacer on the wing ribs.
I'll add photos of the work in progress next time.
29 June, 10:35
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
I'm slowly resuming my work. I've sprayed the rib bands on the wings and added some minor detailing to the left side of the fuselage.
3 July, 22:32
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
The top and side surfaces of the Avia are sprayed with the first of three camouflage colours.
8 July, 21:12
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Moreno Baruffini, thank you, I appreciate it.
Alec, when this Avia is finished, it will complete my collection of Avia BH-3, Avia BH-9 and Avia BH-11 monoplanes from Benes and Hajn constructors.
9 July, 22:23
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Villiers thank you for your interest.
Due to the summer season and its associated activities and the occasional babysitting of my 15 month old grandson, I have less time to build the model. Progress will be slower.
10 July, 07:36
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
The upper surfaces of the Avia are already covered with tri-colour camouflage. There was no time to spraying silver paint on the lower surfaces today. At least I know what I will do next time 😄.
12 July, 23:35
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
The colours bring it to life!
And no worry about slower progress - family and life is very important.
14 July, 18:42
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
@ Villiers and Alec
Thank you for your support, it is very much appreciated.
@ bughunter and Moreno
You are right, family is important and has a higher priority than building models. Don't worry, I'm clear on this point. 😉
17 July, 21:31
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Today I had time and also the daytime temperatures dropped to a bearable limit so I took advantage of it and moved the construction a little bit again.
17 July, 23:10
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
I continue building the model by making parts for the landing gear, propeller and wings. I also printed the decals with the serial numbers.

Here are first pictures of these lovely kit. Again, Airfix has to be praised for parts fit, sound general layout and crispness of detail.
To make things not all too cheap I got a cockpit set and a new canopy from Pavla; you can see the Resin being fixed to the plastic fuselage halves. The Resin-seats got further harnesses made of painted Tamiya masking tape.

Thank you Michael! The "Gnat" is quite a small and neat aircraft, no wonder that´s its 1:72 representation seems to be a fast build. There is not much more to be assembled; just some cleaning up of the few glue seams- and then it´s time for Alclad.
7 April 2015, 06:40
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Indeed, Michael...
Some little progress here. Gunzes Gloss Black paved the way for Alclad White Aluminum; next step will be masking the Alu to get the glossy Red on the surfaces.
8 May 2015, 18:09
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Some steps further... Decals have been applied on a coat of Gunze Clear Gloss Acrylic, next the surfaces will be sealed by a second layer of the same.
Some corrections with dry brush have to be made, but the Gnat is undeniably nearing completion... 🙂

Model seems nice. do you also have pics from the underside? I've thought I saw some silvering or is it he work of the light at the XP-decals in the orange parts. I do have the same on my Blohm and Voss, it seems like silvering, but is a strange effect with the light, and I wanted to know wether it will be fixed by adding some clear varnish over them...
3 June 2015, 10:17
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thank you all for your kind words!
Bart, I have added photos from the Gnat´s underside. You have been right: the first layer of Gunze gloss clear as a preparation for the decals was not enough to prevent a kind of silvering, but the following layers did seal the decals and stop that effect.
