Funkey AS350 - Story

Chapter 3 of 8

Preparing the fuselage

Nov 24, 2021

The Funkey fuselages are really nice for that "small" size. Paintjob was perfect, good details. It is not 100% scale (landing gear too much at the front), but definately semi-scale quality.

I painted the landing gear white (was black) to match the original. And added some 3D-printed steps at the rear. Lightset was bought at LED-Profishop (around 55€). I added a spacer for the exhaust, but besides that: all stock.

BTW: It came with a very clever magnetic locking mechanism for the front. Once you remove the magnets on the outside, the hood is locked! No matter how card the landing might be.
