Paints: | This is my Orlican VSO10B Gradient glider. It is a pretty little kit. There are not too many parts, fit is ok, with the usual problems seen on short run models. The plastic is too soft and reacts a lot with cement, so be careful. Decals were well printed but very fragile. There is no need to solvents as they conform very well to the surface. There are markings for four aircraft. I decided to go with the only colorful one. To display the finished kit, i built a small base and used static grass and a pilot from an Airfix set to give some perspective on the size of the plane. I hope you like it. It's been a while since my last post. There is more coming soon! |
