PART 2. The Blob When you look closely at the intake there is a small eyebrow leading to the top end, sort of a LERX, ZM kit has it molded, but Takom cheap out on plastic or something. Tamiya resin putty is the way to go . Behold, the blob!

PART 1: Intro Few days ago I received this kit as a birthday gift from Carl. I know, he is awesome. Ever since I saw the renders I knew that something does not look right, so I dug in and started hacking plastic with great intensity, speed and with complete disregard for future consequences. First and the most obvious was the tooth created by leading edge extending over the intake. Easy, just sand and blend it. ZM nose above, better but not quite right either.

That's nice!

And many more to come. 🎂 @BlrwestSiR

Sick!

Not at all Paul. This kit is falling together by itself. The issues with assembly were self inflicted. I was rushing, with focus on reshaping the intake area. So I knew that re-scribing and filling will be necessary. To be honest, considering the complexity of the frame, this is actually really nice kit. the puttied bits are my doing the rest is click-clack.

Lovely work and stellar presentation. Thank you for sharing. Cheers Martin

let us blame the elves

I woke up and all of sudden the fuselage is assembled... not counting the nose section. ZM on the top

Another belated birthday gift, this time from a good friend

There are no scale limitations .

You guys really think that this was a battle damage?

Those will be taken care of by our new land shark. Soon or later

That looks bloody real Rod, stunning finish, Bravo! Martin

Out of curiosity I picked up these two.

Also, I appreciate the choice of marking.

X2. the weathering is bang on, winter/ muddy style.

nice work!

That mustard is an absolute necessity. It’s magical like the unicorn tears and equally expensive since it’s made by Tamiya.

Ammo weathering products work great , although it is just a replacement of wet wash weathering for lazy people like Martin . Clear gloss with thinner, some paint and artistic pastel are the main ingredients. In case you want to mix them yourself.

The title of this build should be changed to "When I grow up, I want to be a hurricane"

I have lots of keen childhood memories of Amiot 146 as I was trying to glue the windows not 1/72 scale Smer kit.
