I'm in ! The kit is on my list and I like Dora Wings and the constant improvement they show… even in the face of grievous adversity!

Yes joining the viewing. I have the Heller 1:72 kit that I'm not doing very well with, so I'll sit back and watch this be turned into a masterpiece instead.

Oh, I am in on that one too.
Arctic decals offer a very nice masking set but in scale 1:72 only.

But you might ask Mika whether he can offer them in 1:48 too. The big advantage are the masks for the prominent frames of the Simoun which are not easy to replicate in a clean manner.
Which machine are you going to build?

I'm very stunned about the resonance of the few first pictures! You interest is very appreciated. 🙂.
Michael; thx for the infos about the decals printed by Arctic decals. I intend to build the blue 633 F-ANRJ.

Another masterpiece in the making, lovely start Bernhard! Never heard of this plane to be honest!

After a short (creativity - break) the work on my Caudron will be continued.

@Erik: the plane became known to a greater audience as Antoine de St. Exupery attempted a few record flights in it. He crashed during one flight in the desert and it is said that he got the inspiration for The Little Prince there.

Roland, I wonder how you did cut out that masking tape for the side window of the Caudron
27 November 2023, 06:48
Bernhard Schrock
Good morning Lode, how are you? I suppose you mean Bernhard instead Roland? Each "round" corner consist in fact 3 cutted edges: 45*, 22,5* and 67,5*. Because it the size of the radius it's not visible.

Thank you for the praise and the nice words 🙂🙂🙂 I am particularly pleased because it was a „quick project" and almost out of the box. By the way: did anyone notice that the color has a slight metallic effect?

Hi Bernhard, Very nice build, especially for a quick one, and a nice indication of the progress made by Dora Wings on their recent kits.
About the color, the metallic effect is very toned down, I thought it was semi-matt. Did you consider doing a gloss finish to approximate the finish on the museum aircraft ?

Bernhard Schrock
Boris, thanks for you comment 🙂
Many years ago I learned a lot from a friend about colours and photography. He explained to me that snow white and deep black are „out of place" on models. In the following years I have had the experience that high gloss painted small models of aircraft look especially like toys.
So this time too it was my intention to paint the model of the Caudron only semi gloss.
Apart from that, I think that very shiny color in natura loses shininess very quickly when exposed to the weather.

That makes sense, and of course, the way your photos appear on my screen implies a lot of intermediary steps that make it difficultto interpret the real finish of your kit.
I will definitely build this kit one day. Thanks for confirming that for me ! 😉
