I steeled myself to assemble the upper wing to the fuselage and lower wing of the Junkers J.1 today, with not a little trepidation to say the least. In the end it turned out okay, although it wouldn’t get into any IPMS competitions, as there’s a distinct wonky effect it you look too closely at the whole shebang from the business end. It is surprisingly sturdy, however, which is probably due to lashings of liquid superglue and some colourful language, not to mention the brass wire supports than I sneaked into the gubbins. I now have the wheels, tail skid, machine gun and prop to paint and glue on, then there’s only the fiddly decals to apply before I can spray varnish the finished model. Huzzah!
