harv Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Nice weather today. Sure is fun painting with double vision! Tamiya dark iron. I think it's a good match. Now I can get her legs done.....harv 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 six wheels ? , just kidding , what colour did you use on tires Harvey, XF-84? , just wondering how its gonna look in terms of contrast wth the RLM 66 painted rims. Small progress is still a progress. Cheers M. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Continue working on landing gear. One thing I found surprising in this kit, is the scissor links. Such a small thing but best I've ever had. The two pieces click onto the leg and with a drop of glue you move them together and wa la, done.....harv 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelR32 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Great job Harv. These 229's always look so out of proportion to my eyes with that massive nose wheel and the raked stance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Looking good, it's strange, how an ugly earthbound Horten transforms to one of the most elegant and development wise sophisticated birds with just retracting the wheels. I have to open my box, I have to open my box, …, damned, starting addiction, tremble . Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
