Hi everyone, I started to assemble this 1:72 Dekno kit  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  source:en.wikipedia.org Click here for further infoA quick look inside the box, as you can see below, some parts are molded in light blue resin, whilst others are provided as grey 3D prints:  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr Assembling the kit is quite a delicate operation. First, I assembled the various parts to get an overview of the main fitting issue... The fit of the parts leaves a lot to be desired, they are vague, imprecise and require adjustment, alignment and trimming ... I have a long and complex "fitting and sanding" job ahead of me.  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr |

Wlliiams, Testors, and Bandai have all done the Laird Super Solution, they are 1/32 and 1/48. This may be the first in 1/72 but I am not sure. Dekno's kits are a bit of work but he is doing things that have usually not been done before. I have his Boeing Monomail, 1/72.

Bookmarked this! I have no doubt you will whip this into shape even with the fitment issues.

It is a kit that really puts my patience to the test ... The landing gear broke off and and when I removed the masking, the primer came off...  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr |

Ahh shot Rodolfo. I hate to see that. Had it looking really nice too. No doubt you’ll get it back on track

That sucks Rod sorry. I have no doubt you can revive it and kudos to you for not giving it a high velocity cartwheel into the nearest wall.
