Andrew's Swedish Klemm *Finished*

In honor of all those ol' training aircraft - the home of many a foundering fledgling oblivious that while the IP was attempting to show a calm, reassuring demeanor, his hands, tightly clutched onto some aircraft part, were slowly tearing it to pieces .... Many of us have been there .... The GB runs 1 to 29 Nov, and your host is Old_Tonto.

The Klemm looks really cool. Make sure the crew wrap up proper.

Pretty chilly in that open cockpit in a Swedish winter!

I added some windscreens to the Klemm. The kit pieces were missing, and the real things are pretty small.

Image

I chopped up a bit of 1/400 PE railing left over from my Wannsee build, and with a little careful bending, now have the frames in position on the fuselage.

Image

Next, a lick of green paint, and then a bit of Glue'n'glaze for the glass.

Hans Christian was so surprised that he fell out of the cockpit. He will be put back soon.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Another coat of varnish, and we should be finished.

This is a very nice little kit.

The Klemm gets a tiny blob of filler on the nose. There was a sink mark on the prop :oops:

A tiny dab of paint, and that'll be it.

I can't do much more to the kit now, as my airbrush needs a new o-ring, and I have to order one. So I'll add a dab of paint on the spinner tomorrow and call it finished!

Calling it finished. The airbrush is still hors de combat so I'm going to give it a final varnishing later.

Fun build :grin:

Thanks. Doesn't look good on close scrutiny, but I don't let people get that close!
