John Cooper	Dumas Kit #319, Sparrowhawk	Build	01-Feb-11 11:53

This is a peanut scale (13") Henschel Hs 123. I was a little hesitant to start this model because there were so many difficult pieces to build. These included wheel fairings and cowl with numerous rocker arm blisters. However, the plane oozed so much character that I had to build it.

The Albatros is just about to touch the floor, as it lands smoothly. Most landings of this model aren't so smooth.

I covered the triplane with beige coverite microlite. I removed the gloss of the microlite by rubbing it with fine steel wool.

The balsa quality and part fit of the kit was very good. Unfortunately the kit does not come with decals, wheels, or any plastic parts such as the engine or machine guns.

The model is build with 3 channel R/C with an Eflite 350 for power. With a 35 inch span and 3 wings it is quite slow in the air.

This is the larger scale Dare Triplane. I recently completed this 10 year old kit that was sitting in my basement.

The LiPoly battery takes away, a bit, from the scale effect.
