Just seems to go with the kits well-earned reputation. Indeed Peter. This one is now on the SOD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 This one is another refugee from the SOD that I decided to resume work on while my computer was down. Lots of progress. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 John Welcome back. Glad to see the FG-80 has left the SOD and is back underway. Some mighty nice progress on fixing all those horrendous seams and gaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Coming along well now. I hope to have it finished in a day or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it's coming along okay after getting the intakes squared away. I expect to start decaling soon but first I want to see about some panel shading although after perusing some photos it appears the F-80's hardly showed any. Makes it easier for us model builders! 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Wow, that is fast progress. Agree with Carl - nice job on those intakes and the Alclad. Pretty shape to that aircraft, too. You are making the most of it, as usual. Glad to hear it was only a computer problem that kept you off line. Whew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I could rescue it from the SOD and finally finish it off. Hopefully in a day or two. With the new hard drive on my computer it's much faster than before. That's a good thing! 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Decaling under way. I'm going to leave it over night so I don't bugger up anything! Those decals are thin and easily marred. In the mean time I'm working on a Revell 1/32 Bf-109G-10 Erla. I'll start a WIP thread shortly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 John Decals are looking mighty good. Nice idea to let what you have done dry overnight to just be on the safe side.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice decals though. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
