SPA Modeler

Well done!!

OK, so here we are, back to the Flitzer, getting it done this time, yes we will!

These molds are at least 20 years old and you can feel it: all panel lines need re-scribing... Fortunately no fit problems with the wings and boom/tail assembly.

Work on the wings included: re-scribing, thinning trailing edges, attaching LG doors in the closed position, drilling out the gun ejections ports and enlarging the intakes.





Not much to show for the moment. But I thought I'd let all the Flitzer fans know that this build is back on the front burner! ... What? ... There are no Flitzer fans? ... Ah, OK.

Interesting build Michel !

(I had to google first to see how Flitzer looked like, but was 1st a little bit "surprised" what sort of pictures google returned when only using Flitzer as searchword without anything else.... )

Ha ha, right, in German a Flitzer is a guy or girl that runs naked across a playing field during a game just to get some attention.

Yeah, Flitzer also means 'streaker.' I sometimes pull that joke on those who don't know the FW Flizter by telling them to google it!

After endless re-scribing sessions, I've finally reached the holding-the-model-at-arms's-length-and-running-around-the-room-making-funny-noises-with-your-mouth stage!

That is the best stage of any build. Do not forget to shoot some imaginary enemy planes!
