Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 29, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 29, 2015 Struggling with some loss of mojo, distractions, work, stalled projects, lack of focus AND inspiration, I decided to give the Ohka a whirl.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 24, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2015 With these resin kits, most work goes into making seams disappear, describing lost panel lines in the progress and some re-riveting. So far all is going well. The fuse is closed. Tail is on. Working on control surfaces and dolly now. Also found an Ultracast yellow (well he is!!) figure in the stash. The figure should look a little something like this: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 30, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted October 30, 2015 You already said it: lots of PE in this kit - that's quite a comprehensive PE fret shown there. Do you need to fold the little thingies just below and rear of the cockpit too? YES George! Very very fiddly, but it's done!
