Airfix DeHavilland DH.88 1:72

This was an evil little kit; nothing fit, the parts were warped and had huge gaps. I just about tossed it out. But now I'm glad I did not, got lots of practice with Mr Surfacer500. Besides I really like the gold decals.

Modifications to the kit included cutting open the fuselage & making a very basic cockpit. Also I added pilots from my spares. I also added two "bumps" to the wings and a pitot tube.

Thanks for looking, comments always welcome.

You did well with that.

I think it looks great!

Thanks guys. I think it turned out nice. The shape of the plane sort of reminds me of some of the star war naboo spacecraft. I wonder if the guys at ilm were inspired by '30s aviation?

A nice build, I think the star wars designers were inspired in part by the 30's. Well for the Naboo anyhow.
