Hi friends!

I´ll start now a new project : a Heinkel 51 from Classic Airframes in the 1/48 scale...a short run kit, so a special care should be taken...

The rigging will be a challenge :frantic ... I intend to finish it in four weeks :eek:ldguy

The first photos...












More will follow soon...Luiz.
 
HEINKEL 51

Excellent!! This has always been one of my favorite aircraft. After building the 1/72 Hasegawa float version years ago I found I really liked the plane (only with floats) Have this kit (with floats) and the 1/32 scale resin kit from Silver Wings (also with floats).

Remember this plane didn't have cables but flying wires like the WW1 British aircraft had.

I will be watching with interest Luiz!

Reminds me of the old Eduard Hannover that I started back as my first build when getting back into the hobby. That was a horrible short run kit.

This is really looking good Luiz! Keep it up!
