Ever since I was a kid I wanted to have a good model of this elegant plane. I've assembled both NOVO/FROG and Special Hobby. Not the same. The Clear Prop model is a step higher.
P.S. I haven't quite figured out how to link the project to the model yet, sorry.

Beautiful model of a beautiful plane! Chapeau bas, Anatolii!

Finally a good 1/72 plastic model of this aircraft. Looks like Clear Prop did a good job. I'm stuck with the Airfix one and the KP one doesn't seem to be a good representation.

Fantastic result. Very nice model.
Congrats!

I think to link a project to an album you have to create a new project (from projects --> add new project) and then link or create an album to the project

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
Thank you.
I couldn't connect the project with the model, although I have the model in my stash. And the project with the album too. I'll figure it out.

Mr D
1) Add it to stash from kits list,
2) Status= Started.
3) Go to Edit...scroll down to link project, Select the desired kit from list.
Should be all good then

Nice build 👍👍 nice shiny red, was this the plane that had X2 engine's inline??

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
The model from Clear Prop is definitely better than KP and all the others in terms of geometry, detailing and quality.
It is also possible to purchase an engine (DH.88 Engine (Clear Prop! CPA72141, 1:72)) and make an open hood. But this is already an amateur's choice

Christoph Kunz
The most beautifull plane ever.
And you did an excellent job. 👍

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
Thanks, I'll try it next time.
Engine according to Wikipedia 2 × de Havilland Gipsy Six R air-cooled six-cylinder inverted inline, 230 hp

Mr D
😲 wow.... powerful beast in its time.
Thanks for info.... very smart airframe 👍👍

Wow, it's not easy to get a red gloss finish like that!

New to building. focused on Tamiya 1/48 WWII Aircraft with an occasional detour into 1/35 Tanks/Armor. I especially prefer vehicles used in the Pacific Theater. Japanese and US Marines.

The decals look really good.

Thanks George. As expected, the quality of Cartograf decals is top notch 🙂

This looks great! Decals look like painted on.
I really should start sanding down the gloss coat/decals like you did. In your comment you've written that no polishing is necessary. Will you just apply snew gloss coat over top after cleaning it a bit more?

MS K
Thanks Robin.
Llivery of this car is matt 😉 the reason for sanding is that removing the step in the decal, even on a matte surface, creates a smoother curved surface.

Lovin' it
