Finished. In the end, I opted not to add rigging beyond a line to fly the Dutch flag.

Mike Szwarc AuthorThis was not a fun build for me. The kit instructions didn't match the actual parts included in the kit, and some parts were missing. In the end, I became so frustrated having to try to find pictures of the deck arrangement, and fabricating tiny parts that I just called it done, painted it and stuck it on a piece of foam board for a base.

Mike SzwarcInstructions show molded-in detail that doesn't exist on the plastic parts, and is not provided as a PE part. Some details are provided as decals, but only enough for one model in this two-model kit.

Mike Szwarc AuthorThe Sweet kits are much better quality than the MicroAce-- I had to do a lot of extra work on the Ki-43 and Ki-84 cowlings to make them fit properly, and the landing gear and stabilizer fit is very loose. I've started one of the Sweet A5M4s-- a much more enjoyable build.

Mike SzwarcWing and landing gear struts are not included with kit, and must be fabricated by the modeler.

Mike Szwarc AuthorThanks, Robert. No idea about the double-decker flying boat, I'm afraid. I was just looking for a graphic for the project cover-photo, and came across this poster of Air France airliners throughout history, and cropped out the section showing pre-war airliners.

Mike Szwarc AuthorRobert, I did a little digging, and the double-decker flying boat is a Latécoère 521, a French aircraft from the 1930s. More info:

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Mike! That plane looks absolutely outlandish, doesn't it?
