Master Korabel „Avos“, New Project 2020 [COMPLETED BUILD]

Klamaha · Sep 7, 2020

Hello from good old germany,

in the last days before I retire, I start with a small project. It is a model made by Master Korabel, named „Tender Avos“. Scale is 1/72 and for a beginner in Shipbuilding, a real challenge...

My first Model was the „Atrevida“, but that is another story.

So let‘s with the very beginning:

A small step for the model, but a giant leap for Klamaha...

And a fine first step it is - indeed!

You will, but it‘s not a question of speed, but of patience and fun…

Good start. How are you dealing with all the laser char on the glue tabs and slots? Are you concerned that the glue won’t stick, or if you sand or file too much, the joints would be too loose?

Til now I have no problems with the laser char. It is only necessary to sand a little bit, normal glue (Ponal Express) and it fit very well. The quality of this kit is absolut outstanding.
