Caudron C.633 Simoun

Detailing of the cockpit is very good. IMO no extra parts are needed. The only exception are the belts that I will replace of paper.  

Kits precut masks are imo not exact enough and so I created my own of Tamiya tape. Each “round” corner consist in fact 3 cutted edges: 45*, 22,5* and 67,5*.  

Despite the grey blue mentioned in the kit for the interior I used dull red (2/3 Hu 132 and 1/3 Hu 70) corresponding to the interior of the preserved F-ANRO. Inner masks removed: sharp and clean contours = very satisfied. 🙂 

Result of the first airbrush session.  

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately there is a gap between both fuselage halves. Two wire loops helps to hold both parts together during glueing.  

As usual I used wire (0,4 mm) for installation of the ailerons without glue.  

 

 

 

The wing thickness - spreader has worked very well: no offset and no gap between wing and fuselage.
