Freya LZ in 1/72 scale

 

Kit producer: EXTRATECH
Scale: 1/72
Type of kit: resin castings & brass etched parts

I have built the Freya as well as Greyhounds to serve as advertising models for Extratech. Initially I didn’t want to build this kit because I have never had any affinity to radars. Nevertheless the completion of this kits appeared to me be simple so I have decided to do it. In fact I have completed this radar in two days. The whole antennae and thee supports are made of etched brass and work with them was similar like with Friese 16t kit. The resin cab is unfortunately little crooked and has to be right in hot water. The resin pillar has to be completed of four parts and it’s not simple to connect the right. I recommend you to use some resin glue instead of second glue to connect them especially if you cut assembly plugs before you start as I have done by mistake. J
