It sucks and i know the feeling. I've binned some pretty 100 euro + kits in the past. Hope you'll be happy with the result in the end!!

Dang! Haven't touched the Hawk myself. Have however seen finely built examples of them. The He111 I'm building now is fighting me with weird fit issues, missing locating tabs here and there and downright strange engineering. So: Can you fix it? Or is she a lost cause?

Looks great! And yes i agree: painting the markings is often easier than getting a decal on properly...

And the wings are on! I want to wait with riveting until I have gotten rid of all the seams and smoothened the fucker out. I learned this from my Ju88 build....

Cool... Really curious to see how you'll tackle the windows!

Super cool! That is one Tempting Tempest!

And then i discovered that i had detailed Kagero drawings showing rivet locations! Scale 48 but detailed enough for 32nd scale.

that is a thing of beauty.... thnx for sharing..

Slowly but surely things are taking shapes. Made some plastic card shims to close some minor gaps on the rear cowling parts. The oil coolers are on. Don't try to blend them in, since a small step is supposed to be there. I expected the cowlings to give me a bigger fight. Also putting together the bomb racks. No Eduard here, since I'm keeping the windows in this section closed.

No sorry...

Thats one pretty big 3d printer! When people say 3d printing is kinda taking the easy route I can tell them wrong. In many cases it's easier to make something form plastic card! Love what you're doing here.

like? Love it! Great replication of that profile. Lovely!!!

interesting progress... Do you shop at De Houtloods? by any chance?

Cool kit! I wonder in what areas windmills like these would be found. It looks russian. It doesn't look like the type we have here in the Netherlands. What do you think?

That looks great! Thnx!

That looks great! Lovely surface texture too..

Happy Days Fran!! X

Thanks for the heads up and clear illustration! Looking good so far!

OK. As described my many, the fitting of the engines to the wings is awkward to say the least. Lots of patience and dry fitting is needed to get a perfect fit. Almost there. Then some small filling, sanding, describing and then..... riveting!

You crazy man!! You bin 3 resin kits to start a new smaller scale build with.... RESIN! OMG... Following!

Wow!! That looks sweet! I guess this is what it will look like? Should look great in a 1/32 Lanc dio

Supercool... Love that camo. Almost done?

Thnx for this extensive walk around! Does a 1/35 scale kit exist from this helicopter?

Very nice!!

Oh my lord! Check this one out! Thnx again Pilote109!
