Bill_S Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Tamiya Tomcat. It doesn't say so in the instructions, but I think the main wings need paint prior to assembly. I'll wrap them in plastic wrap until paint on the rest on the plane is complete. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Hi Bill It's just so much easier keeping track and following. In the What's on your bench forum, there are so many of everything being posted, including those posts that are not even on the basic subject, it's way too easily to lose a build thread. Much apprecited Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 hi gents here is what's currently on my bench : the " Tempest Mk 2 " from special hobby , an impressive stuff !! the instruction booklet itself can make you " scare " 🥶 , very , or too much complex ... well , the kit, although a " short run " is well detailed .... here are some photos in progress ( sorry , no pictures of the cockpit ( a kit into the kit ) now , the fuselage is closed , and I did a quick test fit fuselage / cowling ..... here are the forthcoming issues !!! note the gap ( on each side of course ) more than a gap , an abyss ... I guess that some " surgeries " will be needed ... question : does anybody has already built this version ? did you get such .....problem ? how did you fix this bad fit issue ?...merci !!!

ScottsGT Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Got home from an 8 day cruise and went back to work on the Cougar. Got the cracked and warped wing air splitters fixed using brass sheet to cut and file new ones. of course Mr. Quality Control inspector had to get involved. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Had a promotion at work (farm manager) and been suffering quite a bad bout of depression and anxiety. So my bench time has been non existent for a few months. Thought i would break myself back into the dio gently. Started to work on the fence and some small trees for the hedge line. Fence was made by sanding down a tree branch. Natures free materials 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
