Guten Tag Everyone Around the World,
This will be my project for the Animal Antics GB starting 1 October 2019. I will be attempting to build this Tristar kit into a Storch flown in the European theater of Operations. All the parts to do this are included in the kit except 1 piece (no big deal). As I haven't built a wing thingy for about 100 years, this ought to be very interesting. Please keep the laughter down to a dull roar when I start building this!!! Thank you for your cooperation………...
On to the basics. The kit boxtop,
The decals, and there are a lot of them for different countries. Canopy masks are also included (lucky me!!!),
The destructions are pretty easy to follow and don't begin with building road wheels or tracks,
The shaded out pieces are for the ETO version and I will be using them and not the L sprue,
Masking diagram, sticking and painting (got a headache already) and paint schemes. Russia '42 for me, now on to the sprues,
Little pieces to the right and two identical clear sprues. One for practice screwing up on, I guess,
A motor, struts and tiny stuff. Rubber tires and metal landing gear pieces. You have the choice of it sitting on the ground or in flight,
The fuselage and interior stuff. One piece is missing to the left of the seat. No biggie as you have one to the left with the 4 MG-34 drums,
The European version wings that I will be using,
The tropical wings, exhaust headers and top engine cowling that won't be used...……..
I am not sure when thisinsanity build will begin as I have other things on my plate too. Sorry for the plastic bag glare, but we aren't allowed to cut or do anything before the start date......…......……...…...…...…..
Prost
