This is the parts of "Fokker Universal" vac-formed kit released by VLE Models in early '90's. I am going to convert it to "Super Universal". The parts shown are in the condition of after sanding. Compared with the drawing, you see Super Universal is significantly larger than Universal.
The fuselage is cut in two and expanded with a plastic card bridge applied from the inner side. Many "tongues" are put to make assembling easier. And greish interior colour is sprayed.
Plastic cards for outer skin are put at the expanded area. Filler is applied on the gaps and sanded down to have a
smooth surface. Then, I move to make a wing construction. To expand the wing area, the original wing parts are cut into four different portions as shown.
The main wing is assembled by a manner like a parquetry. The gaps are filled and sanded to obtain a smooth surface. A thin plastic card is laminated on the bottom of the fuselage to get a proper shape for Super Universal. Window glasses are put bothside of the fuselage and covered with masking tape.
The parts conditions before painting are shown. Undercarriage struts are scratch built. Engine and exhausts are from Airfix Bulldog kits. And wheels and propeller come from my junk box.
Wind screan parts are cut from transparent plastic card. The parts are put together with masking tape to provide a flexibility and carefully assembled to follow the precise angles.
