OVA-10 Broncasy

Not glued yet, nor putty-sanding-repeat on the wing tips, but the overall shape already appears:

The same after:
- gluing the main wing to fuselage and boom
- putty and sanding all wing truncated tips
- gluing the tailplane
- adding putty on the nose hole
I will have a problem with the lowest wing, probably, but I think I can do it.

The triplane is built. I am just having a hard time with the canopy in 4 parts holding each others... I have glued 2 parts to stand and support the others. This would make more difficult the black painting of the whole canopy as I planned, but maybe I will take that as an opportunity to make it even more different: small eye (what you call single-seater)...

3 of the 4 canopy parts are glued in place. This will work at last. We now "recognize" a Bronco, somehow...

The 4th part of the canopy is glued, with success. Next week painting and (if not all broken when hold for painting) it will be finished...

Surprisingly, the model did not fall into pieces when I turned it upside down to paint the underside...

Drying, close to completion...

The asymmetric single-seat single-engined triplane Broncasy is born...

Other angles of this true what-if one (what-if designers were crazy?)...
