My first foray into the WWI and biplane categories was this Se.5a from Eduard. Did I mention it was also my first Eduard kit and first time with PE as well? Many things were learned during the build of this beautiful (and sadly unfinished forever model) aircraft. Its been many months now since I've finished this build and so its hard to remember a lot of the details but i'll give it my best.

Kitty hawk F-35a model finished Reviewed - Kitty Hawk 1/48 F-35A

Filed under: Reviews

Building of this kit took me many more hours than the 10 that is showing, this was started after this kit was started so the time isn't accurate so bear that in mind. I really enjoyed this build minus the annoyances that are very well known and typical of Kitty Hawk, color callouts could have been much better but thankfully I had references when need be, even if it was another model haha. Overall fit of the model was very good, sometimes tolerances were too tight and required a bit of sanding work to ease them up to fit better, but nothing a nice sanding stick couldn't fix.
