Splash's Skoda D-1 ***finished****
I have had a KP Skoda D1 in my stash for years and think it will be a good kit, being simple with a small number of parts and a very simple colour scheme either all green or all silver.
I know very little about the Skoda D-1. only that it originated as the Dewoitine D 21 and was built under license.
I plan to start my build on the 20th at about 19:00 UK local time or slightly earlier if I get away on time from work.
Due to work commitment, I will have to attempt the build over two evenings.
Regards

I like the looks of that one. Kinda like an upscale Fokker D8.
Looking forward to this one.

twenty minutes before I finish work and up sticks and head for home, twenty minute drive time, time to make a cup of coffee open a tin of Beaked Beans and start cutting plastic.
Signing off for a short time, see you all in about an hour and a half.

Just a quick thought, do I do it in all Silver or green?

Ok it's time to start as you can see I'm not waisting time with hot food, as soon as the beans have gone, I will start, so call it a 18:00 uk local start.
Cheers for looking in.

Slow progress on the tiny cockpit, the instructions say the interior should be grey but I have gone for the good old red brown.
I now have a coffee mug monster that has just eaten something off my bench but I don't know what untill I finish my coffee!!!!

Re: Splash's Skoda D-1 ***started****
My wife has gone to Scotland for the week so no problems with the wind
The plastic on this kit is quite soft and will take time to set so I'm going to leave it for a short while, on reflection I should have use super glue.
