Hi,
Some time ago I made a 1:144 resin kit of Aichi E13A1 Jake. Although there are some kits ot his plane available, I wanted one with some additional detail like wing fold, vac-formed canopy and interior. If you want to see creation process of this kit, than click here or visit the gallery. But in this thread I am going to show how I use the resin parts to make a 1:144 Jake with some panels removed.
This is what I plan to do. I've marked red those areas where internal structure will be visible.
I know that such configuration was impossible to observe on any war theatres, but my aim is to show internal structure of the airframe.
So here is how I started:
Lengths of rolled copper wire are going to pretend the stringers.
And here is the roller I got from a friend locksmith:
Work goes on:
