It may look imposing when first veiwed, but it really is not that bad. It goes quickly and you get extremely familiar with the parts. Of course I started this way when I was a kid building Comet Models. I never used the services of Cleveland Models though, has anyone out there ever worked off of Cleveland plans or built a Cleveland kit. I use to look at the pictures of what was available and dream. JohnG. 23-Jun-07 16:45 I am considering a Diels kit. Are parts die cut, laser or what??????? ThanxJGJ Xanadu 23-Jun-07 17:19 Printed only, you cut them out....... jerry campbell 23-Jun-07 18:04 Working steadily at it you will spend about 4 to 5 hours. Besides a new #11 blade you also must have a single ege razor blade. The razor blade is used to cut th stringer notches. I takes me longer because I move to the computor or relax at the tube for aa while, while I'm cutting. JohnG. 23-Jun-07 18:58 O.K...Printed does not necessarily deter me. They have the model I am considering............Thanx JGJ jerry campbell 23-Jun-07 21:17 I know the feeling John, the ww2 subject matter is what led me to Diels kits, and of course the constant 1/24 scale. I've also found an interesting site for ww2 color schemes, while it is far from finished their is still a great deal of information. michael-reimer.com jernst 24-Jun-07 06:56 John, I really enjoy building a diels kit. Even though you have to cut all the parts out, you can be assured that all the parts will fit together as advertised. I also sand as much of the black ink off the part - before assembly. I don't like the nik showing through the tissue. Just started the Diels Brewster Buffalo, but I don't have the plane listed in my hanger to post it. JohnG. 24-Jun-07 09:53 I am still a solid Guillows fan, but while their selection of kits is not necessarily limited, other companies offer other options for selection. Appreciate all the input from you folks.....Thanx, JGJ Please sign in to comment on this image.
