Thank you Dietmar. More pics to come, just finished the engine & tender body painting, getting ready for the camo finish. We'll see how that turns out.

Nice work so far. I enjoyed building this kit although spraying the camo wasn't easy.

Gorby - what was your approach to the camo. My thinking is to keep the engine/tender separate from the undercarriage, paint the camo and then assemble. This should minimize any retouching of the undercarriage, keeping it black.

![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
I built it all and only then thought about painting it. 😄
Probably not the best way but it worked out in the end. Leaving the underside gubbins off might be a better/easier way to go about it.
Incidentally, I remember that the painting instructions only show one side view which make it a pain to work out what the other side should look like. I checked online and if it helps this is my build: Gorby's loco (but you knew that anyway). | Album by gorby (1:72)

Just remembered, the only thing I didn't fit before painting was the two side shield things at the front.

Looked over your finished model, very nice. Noticed the red parts and the addition of the flak gun on the back, nice touch. Liked the camo too. Again, very nice job. Did it ever get into the dio that you were thinking of doing. I too plan to create one, but in the future. Regarding the side shields, I plan to attach them and then do the camo.

Yes I did add it to a diorama at a later date: In the last six months I could have achieved great things. I did this instead. | Album by gorby (1:72)
It won't be easy to paint the sides of the boiler if you attach the shields before painting.
28 June, 14:49
![](/profiles/img/52428-144-s.jpg)
Gorby - looked over your dio, great job. I too have the Morser Karl completed and considered including it in a dio. I have the HobbyBoss munitions transport vehicle too, but not built.
Question - where did you get all the figures?
Regarding the shields, I came to that conclusion too, so they will be added after.

Thanks William. The figures are from this set: German Panzer Soldiers Set 1 (Orion/Haron ORI 72045, 1:72)

On the left side of the fuselage I added a trim around the footboards and cut a round cap above the horizontal tail surf...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
