Thanks Louis @lgardner!
The Adolfine was given to me as a present from a fellow modeler, some 12 years ago.
It was beautifully packed in its plastic bag, you know how those limited things are!
No hard boxes, no fancy artworks, just plain vacformed plastic, beautiful resin, a sort of instruction leaflet and so on.
Well, in its simplicity and rareness, I loved it, immediately started to build it: my first vac!
Had to move to my new house, then my lovely boys arrived, so it was left behind.
Tried to catchup with it last year, many disasters happened to it, due to my vac inexperience.
To quote them will take a full article, just imagine that the fuselage broke in two...can you imagine this happen in a vac?
The model is full of funny reinforcements, thank goodness you cannot see them (but you can notice them in the uneven surfaces...)
Anyways, being me (!), I just cannot leave for long a model half finished. Moreover, I really believe (bizarrely maybe) that every model deserves to be built.
So here she is!
Many parts were scratchbuilt, less than perfect result, but she is approaching the finish line!
And a small update:
Finished the weathering and gave her a coat of satin-to-matt finish:
Had QC thumbs up for the coating, now final bits and touchups to be done after curing.
P.S. 1. Marc Barris @marc jobs are truly outstanding
- ...1/48 vacformed Nell?...sounds challenging, but what a goal!
