Coming along nicely. Bet you're glad you put the weight under the fuselage, it would definitely tail sit with that lump of resin at the rear.

I mentioned to Jonno some meetings back about forming a SIG for models that are 'rubbish' (self edited here, lol!!!) to build so you're not on your own Chris. You'll find a way through it.

You know sometimes you get a model that fights you all the way and does everything to put you off.
Roll up your sleeves Chris and show it who's the boss!

Looks interesting Chris. Who operates the 'Cesar'?. I'm familiar with the Merlin which this is based upon.
Will be an interesting build.

Modelling Projects / HH-101 Caesar conversion
Last post by chriswil42 - November 02, 2026, 02:27:10 PM
Started this a short while ago while waiting for the paint to dry on the Pelican.
The conversion started with the central console - the original was removed and replaced.
The Italeri Italian Merlin was used as this is the closest configuration to the Caesar regarding window layout. The door window will need to be enlarged.

Progress.  I have even had to take parts from a Heller kit to use as patterns for moulds so I could complete the conversion.

After a bit of patching on the white and black painted bits because of the masking tape, I'm finally getting ready for the decals. This one amost went in the bin of doom.
