Looking real good Peter! I look forward to seeing the finished model! 🙂 -
The decals settled down nicely. Very thin, etc. My fingers are crossed also......🙂
-
Lotsa progress made. Still hoping to find that lost canopy part.
-
Painting and decaling completed. I'll see about attaching the landing gear next. It looks like it will be very touchy. I don't have a canopy piece ordered from anywhere.
-
On thinking about it I've decided to go on and finish the model since I am so far along on it. I hope the part will show up at some point.
-
Bad news! Somehow I managed to lose the top of the canopy clear part. I've looked all over but no luck. I don't want to continue the build not knowing if I can complete the model. I hope to come across the part at some point but for now I'm going to set the model aside. 😒
-
Love that Xtracolor paint Peter. Always a winner. 🙂
-
Xtracolor RLM 76 applied. I'll start on the top sides next.
-
Thank you Peter. Actually the horizontal tail fits rather well. I guess it just doesn't show up that well in that last photo. Might need a little smoothing out but nothing drastic.
-
Turned out real well Peter. Nicely done.🙂
-
Thank you Chris. Was easier than I expected it to be! 😃
-
Progress so far.
-
Mo betta now! 🙂
-
Looking good Peter. 🙂
-
It fits a little better than the kit nose. Should look okay after I smooth in the underside. 🙂
-
Resin nose attached. Not too bad fit except for the underside where there is a "step". I'll putty and sand this area and try to blend it in. Shouldn't be too difficult. 🙂
-
Thanks. I think it looks better too but I'll have to see about fit......
-
Fingers crossed on that nose Kevin.🙃
-
Progress so far. Fit could be better. I have the kit nose and a resin Cutting Edge nose. At this point I think I'll go with the resin nose as it looks a bit better.
-
Thanks Carl. I'm glad you got some good useful info. 🙂
-
It's always something Kevin. I have about quit forking out extra $$ for "expedited delivery" as it doesn't arrive any sooner than regular delivery. Good luck!🙃
-
It'll be a real eye catcher whether in NMF or camo. 🙂
-
Thanks Chris. So far it's coming along okay but all those little bitty parts are hard to work with! LOL 🙂
-
Crew area mostly done.
-
Thanks Peter. The IP is PE. Really nice looking so I had to use it instead of painting the plastic one provided. I've been working on the rest of the cockpit and am darn near cross-eyed now!!! 😄
