Shinmeiwa SS-2 (prototype) - completed starting with picture 127 vyhliadka: Prezentácia Mozaika zoznam 1 2 3 4 5 July 8, 2014
In my opinion the mix of raised (original in the kit, wing) and self made rivets on the flaps (with a riveting tool) looks interesting.
6 July 12, 2014
It's really stunning that such large airplane is powered by such small propellers...
7 July 12, 2014
The kit offers no exhaust pipes so I created them from thin sheet wrapped around a 6mm drill.
8 9 July 12, 2014
Last year I overlooked the black "no step stripes".
10 July 12, 2014
Walkway-stripes after demasking.
11 12 13 July 13, 2014
Unfortunately the prominent inline-gaps for enhancing the water performance are missing in the kit...
14 July 13, 2014
Created gaps via engravings, because the plastic is too thick for a complete "cut". The shape of the gap end-area was corrected.
15 July 13, 2014
The original has a complicated superstructure for better strength. I made only a part of it using 0,42mm drill and 0,40mm plastic-rod.
16 July 13, 2014
Lost raised rivets restored with a needle and....
17 July 13, 2014
... the holes in the "craters" filled with polishing paste (rose).

1st step: prepaint the fuselage with white (outer side) & dark grey (inner side). 2nd step: mask the openings on the outer side with a small piece of transparent tape. 3rd step: fill the windows with Bondix, coat as thin as possible & let it harden.
21 July 20, 2014
4th step: fill the windows 2nd time with Bondix, put a piece of thin transparent plastic into the wet Bondix and let it harden. 5th: step; remove the Tesa film from the outside and carefully remove the Tesa-glue from hard Bondix with cotton swab & Humbrol
22 23 July 20, 2014
This rectangular window has an two pieces of thin plastic glued with Bondix together.
24 25 July 21, 2014
Upholstery is made from ureol (the most soft variant).

39 January 19, 2015
Nothing much to see of the engravings.... Need paint. Little details (inlets, outlets and mesh for the round exhaust) comming soon.
40 January 19, 2015
White card was the tool for engraving the oval hole. The inlay helped to cut the mesh in correct shape.
