Building the Clemenceau's Airwing

The first step is to clean up the excess resin flash found on the aircraft.  This was done with a sharp knife and sandpaper.  L'Arsenal's aircraft are very well done, but the details are fragile.  Care is needed when cleaning them up.  I am guilty of not being careful and accidentaly cut off the stabilizer of one aircraft and the tail of another.  Oops.

After I cleaned up the aircraft, I attached them to tooth picks.  The toothpicks will make handling them a lot easier when I attach the landing gear and other details.

I also built two Super Frelons which came from the Jeanne D'arc kit.  The helicopters have pretty nice, though you will need to clean up a large seam that is created when you join the two halves together.
