We decided to try out some Pewter 'rub- n-buff' type paste on this model after trying it out on a spare piece of sprue. The resultant finish, buffed to a high polish, exactly resem bles metal. The instruction sheet, criticised b y ‘Scale Models', Feb 1975. and justly so, was diffic ult to follow in places. Th is may be due to the ’apparent' complexity of the 'Strutt ery*. However, once we decided that there were T W O pairs of 'Vees' of struts between the fuselage and the engine nacelle, we had no trouble. We assembled the fuselage, then rubbed on and polished the finish having chosen the early pre-1936 version' Wing and nacelle assembly was polished as one piece — (if SPANISH ClVitW AR using aluminium parnt, it is borer sprayed MARKINGS- on — brush will have to be carefully applied, CANT Z501 several thinned coats with a little black added to dull the metal in the paint). (PROVIDED IN KIT When assembling the wings to the nacelle, AS ALTERNATIVE) we noticed a gap at the lower side. If this is not filled with plastic putty, the wings may sag into anhedral. We fixed this by setting the assembly upside-down till dry, then fill- the gap with putty and cement. We used Testors liquid cement for most joins, but any polystyrene cement will do. Care should be taken to assemble the[ struts exactly as the instruction sheet shows. (We didn't and still got out of it O K - — we cemented struts to the wings FIRST — N O T recommended!) The only poor fit was the bomb-rack fair ings at the strut junctions. These may give some trouble, but patience will overcome it. Cut away the fairing slightly where the out board struts fit in. Note that the rec on the sunburst is ORANGE-RED, not crimson — a touch of yellow in Bright-red w ill give the right shade. There is a choice of three sets of decals — well printed.
