ClareWentzel Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Looks great Dick. It is an interesting looking airplane. If you get a chance to pass by Kalamazoo sometime, we can show you the original. Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montgomery Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yes sir. I've often relished the idea of visiting your event since it takes place in a museum. Its a bit of a drive from central Texas...but one can always hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Good looking model Dick! Czech Model kits are not shake and bakes either! How did it compare to other a/c kits you've built? Thanks for posting! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montgomery Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Thanks for the pat on the back. Good photography always overcomes mediocre modeling. If one has ever build a Czech Model one knows that it is a cross between a vacuform and a Matchbox kit. The kits always provide some nicely done interior resin parts but the rest of the kit will need much TLC just to make it presentable. Thing is...they produce some really fastinating subjects and they do it in a scale that I can work with....1/72 gets a bit small for old eyes. And the bottom line is that no one held a gun to my head when I bought the kit. I knew what I was getting into. All in all, Czech Models ain't for rookies but then they are not that tough either. I've got a few more Czech Models and I am looking forward to getting to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
