Dragon 1/72 FG1D Corsair US Navy HQSS22 'Skippers Orchid'

Post by Mark in Oz » Thu Apr 15, 2010 3:50 am

Hi there,

I am a new user of this site. I have just taken delivery of a rare Dragon FG1D Corsair US Navy HQSS22 'Skippers Orchid' (2005).

Its a very cool little plane with folding wings. I have had a quick look and its clear that this will need a little TLC to assemble. I was wondering if anyone in the past has commented on this model and if there were any tried and tested tips on how to safely assemble this little Orchid using minimal glue etc. Its a diecast and so assembly is usually straight forward. I do recall seeing comments on a list somewhere suggesting that its a bit of a challenge!

many thanks

Mark
