Cessna 172 (1:48)

Comlete model. Base made from pine wood, plaster and modeling grass and bushes. Box cover (not shown on this photo) - from plexiglass. 

 

 

 

If you look at the details, you can see many imperfections. I haven't yet figured out why the straight lines turned out blurry. 

 

In this kit parts doesn't fit to one another. For example rear part of cocpit leave some holes on bottom and right sides. Also I have difficulties attaching landing gears - it seems impossible to install it an same angles. 

Seat belts are made from paper and thin metal wire. Seat belt buckles seems too big to scale (on next model try to improve this). Also I add 20 g weight under the dashboard. Later it proves not anough, and adding 7g weith under the hood was needed.  

Applying base colour.  

I use masking tape to hide glass and separate different colors.
