The roof is already fixed. Just a broken tile. It took me less than 30 minutes to fix. My ink cartridges are empty so I had to order new cartridges and now I'm waiting. By the way, I noticed that there is a problem in propellers. They should be counter rotating but the designers made them as...

Hi all Just got back from a two weeks family trip. Apparently, there are broken roof tiles on my house roof just above the table I had this model stored. Some rain water got into the room, messing the model... Messing badly. Fuselage is warped, wing is damaged. This model is beyond repair...

Absolutely mind-blowing build. This is a well deserved Model Of A Merit Kudos, Mr Snake

Mr Snake, your work is a real masterpiece. The detailing, the explanations, the errors list - great show of mastership. Thanks for sharing with us this build

Thank you all!!

Hello all Next step - the wing. Nothing too difficult here. Need to be careful forming the wing's leading edge, it has a pretty small radius. Used a small brush to wet the inner side of the leading edge. The underwing actuator covers should be mounted with sharper edge forward. Again, if...

Impressive work on these tracks.

Thank you all!

Thanks!!

Hello all. It's the time for the very intricate part - the main gear cowling. The part has no formers beside the main gear well and it should be build and formed and only then mounted on the fuselage. The mounting process is also pretty difficult since the part is quite large hence wiggling on...

Great looking track

Hello all. Since I've dropped the fuselage twice, I decided do make the stand, provided by the designers. Nothing difficult here. Next, is the wing base cowling on top of the fuselage. Oh, boy, this part drive me nuts. The rear parts had to be formed by rounding to a very small diameter in...

Well, obviously, in 1:72 scale some simplifications must be made. Let's not forget that the main strut of the main landing gear is about 1.5 mm in diameter. The model design is not 100% fit to the real one, but it seems to be pretty close approximation. If it will look too simple, I will...

Next should be the wing mount cowling or main gear cowling. The latter is very intricate to form and mount. So, I will do the wing mount cowling next

Hello and a Happy New Year to you all. Finished the fuselage and the vertical tail. This design requires cutting the slot for the tail, inserting the tail and then attaching last fuselage parts, gluing the former onside the part. This method can potentially lead to former protruding on the...

Snake, I am amazed with this process..

I will do the landing gear version.

It's a turbo prop, but I get what you mean It is a really interesting model Wait till I get to engines. Small and no formers. It's going to be challenging

Thanks a lot It is a very good design, like all the 120+ models by Hermercraft and I don't know how many models by CityCraft

Hello all There are two great designers, Hermercraft (Edwin Rodriguez) and CityCraft (Mario Solorzano) They both design beautiful aircraft models and share them for free. They joined together to design the ATR-42 and ATR-72 models. They published them as white models, w/o any livery and...
