1/144 Czech Master Resin Martin JMR3 Mars

December 12, 2021 · in Aviation · · 3 · 1K

1/144 Resin Martin JMR3 - Complete resin kit. Very fragile translucent propellers and landing gear.

Used brass pins for durability and strength on every join especially ‘beaching-landing gear'. Beautiful resin castings. Big problems with red paint bleeding thru into white paint. Great support on replacement propellers I damaged more than once.

  1. Master's job here, Clarence!
    This looks to be a VERY difficult kit, which you tackled with your great skills.
    Yes, small resin bits are usually fragile and they make very weak landing gears, which might buckle over time with only the weight of the model...

  2. That's a good-looking aircraft. Striking scheme as well - well done!

  3. I saw this airplane when it landed at Lake Elsinore to be used for firefighting a few years back. Believe me, it's B-I-I-I-I-G!
