The second project comes
completely out of left field. I was reading a posting on one of the forums I
follow (most likely 72nd Scale Aircraft) and came across the
finished model of a RWD-5. It is a small civil aircraft from the Polish
aircraft industry. It seemed nicely done and something one doesn’t see very
often, which I always find alluring. When I wandered down to the garage, I
found that I had 4 of these RWD series planes in 1:72 (and a Czech Skoda D-1
I’ve been meaning to knock out for a while now), all of which are from obscure
Eastern European manufacturers.
The decals have that
dire look of ones that will shatter once they get a good look at a cup of
water, so I’ll have to be careful when applying them. The plastic itself
doesn’t look very much better. Still, to quote Star Trek 2, a project like this
“has the virtue of never having been tried”. I’ll be doing the aforementioned
D-1 and the RWD-5, -6, -8, and -14. Light a candle for my sanity, someone.
