Cessna T50 1/48 Squadron "Encore"

Post by LyleW »

Maybe, likely is, the next one to go to the mat...It is a rebox/re-issue of the Czech Models mixed media kit. Looks like a okie-dokie kit so far.

The instructions are a breath of fresh air, "Fisher Price" like.....

Image

Simple sprues

Image

These look like the resin castings on the Czech model kit, but they do not look like resin to me....Any guesses?

Image

And, the decals...

This looks to be a nifty future project... decisions decisions about the batting order... :hmm:

Hmmm....’‘tis a dilemma. Maybe I’ll just do @ DC-3!

Hmmm. They are styrene gray, though. The Czech model kit, those are the "normal" resin color. Oh well, doesn't really matter.

Many thanks. I guess they are resin. The instructions say so. I have never used or worked with resin before.
