The first one lasted a few days, the send lasted a couple weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 20, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted April 20, 2022 Seems we have some very pesky join lines. Time to break out the board sander. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie, in case you haven't noticed, there is the wrong manual lying under your bird. Will this become a FokMug in the end? Cheers Rob 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Could that justify the fitment problem ?😈 Talking about instructions, the actuator arms of the main landing gear legs are reversed. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Ernie Still catching up and spending oodles of time in the GB forum. Awesome work, simply awesome.

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 4, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted May 4, 2022 Will it ever end? This thing is looking some kind of hideous!!! But I assume there’s a method to all this madness. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 6, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2022 Well, big milestone and great success tonight. Some touch ups to do, and a bit of clean up, but the first big step was by far the most nerve wracking, and it turned out ok. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Wow, my eyes are hurting from looking at your Mig Ernie, but that's a good sign, as the camo came out great. Cheers Rob 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martin, but honestly I’m not a fan of the Akan stuff. It’s OK I suppose, but next time I think I’ll go back to Gunze. Airbrush settings are all different with this and it seems to prefer much more thinning to keep it from being grainy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
