CMR's 1/72 scale Hughes 1B
"Double Trouble"

Hughes 1B

Hasegawa's 1/72 scale Emily is available online from Squadron

Czech Master Resin's 1/72 scae Hughes 1B kit contains two complete resin models, so you can model two configurations of this plane.

They are very well moulded, and it shouldn’t be any trouble during the build, but I had some bad luck. The fuselage halves warped somehow, and I had problems with aligning the wings, both cockpit canopies were lost, CA fumes fogged whole models, paint and BMF foil peeled off with adhesive tape, then I poured CA on the foil, Humbrol paint refused to dry due to thinner, and one model fell on the ground.

The whole build took four years, but I was stubborn, and I finallyfinished them!

I hope you’ll not notice any faults that I can see.
