Gazebo Kit (assembly required)

What a wonderful addition to my layout! Casting is clean with a couple of spurs that need to be cleaned off. Testors plastic model paints worked well given a base coat of white first. There's enough detail for an intricate color scheme but my old eyes restricted me to the basics. Minimal fitting prior to painting followed by glue-up with medium CA. Assemble from the top down and true up the bottoms of the enclosure before gluing to the base! On my kit the support post at the center of the steps was the low point and all other walls had to be filed to make the enclosure sit true to the base.

This is an all metal casting that is easy to assemble and does require some painting to complete the model. it goes together relatively easily, but you will need cement that is capable of bonding metal parts. Testors metal glue did not work, but .... Loctite gel formula super glue did just need to wait few hours to cure before moving parts. The only complaint is that the structure is small and would be nice if it were a bit bigger.

This a great kit to build and detail. Pre-fitting and adjusting parts for fit is a must. Turned out awesome. Detail is great.
