Hi Mate, Not much progress on this Charlie, I still struggle with the canopy, lost mojos a bit lately I will re scrib the whole front canopy window to size, so far only done 2 of it, then I will sand the joints smooth to match the airframe..

Ray,, Ahh.. I already spray a layer of primer on top, , I should have check earlier... sigh..

Rods S, thanks, I do noticed that the engines are a bit too small . but I tend to build this one OOB . Anyway, the canopy fitting is not great, but it does look kinda funny with a big clear canopy on..

Nice work Ray, I was worried about the 1 piece canopy fit, but yours look OK, yah, i do realized that the nose cone shape is off but I can live with it .. thanks Current progress: - Assembled both wings and engines and test fitting to fuselage, the fitting is not bad . - Fuselage halfs joining in progress, there are some fitting issues on the nose as my copy was warped, I reshape the warpage by blowing hot air to it with hair dryer and quench it in a cool water . Next is to work on the clear part. Cheers, Thomas

Hi, This will be my entry, an old Esci C-130. the kit came with recessed line and I planned to build is as RMAF Charlie... The kit came with a few opening for gunship options, so I created some sound proof padding to cover the unwanted opening. I also try to sketch build the APU intakes, the forward one seem too big, so I will have to redo with a correct sizing, More later, Cheers..

Hi, Can I join with a Esci C-130 which is about 25% done now?

very good project , B.. looking forward for more update.

Ok Mates, good to know that, I will chose another subject.. thanks..

Hi .. This is consider done for now until I acquire the replacement canopy. 1/72 Special Hobby DH Hornet F3 N0.33 Squadron, RAF Butterworth Ops FireDog, Malayan Emergency.

Hi Guys, Finally have time to update after voted out our corrupt government last Wednesday .. The kit's rocket rails are undersize and look horrible, I replaced them with the extra one from Tamiya Mosquito kit.. Decaling is done..and spray on a layer of matt coat too. But , I discover some crack lines on canopy after removing the mask, and there are some foreign objects in the cockpit, I have no idea how they get in there and no way of getting them out without doing further damage to canopy, I had sent a request for replacement canopy to Special Hobby, I hope they will response to me. Otherwise , this kit is consider done.. more photo later..

Thanks guys... and started the painting process with Blue tac to aid the camo pattern masking. Top Camo done, Dark Green, Dark Sea Grey..next PRU blue on belly . and I found that the kit's roundels have this red ring on it, I think it is out of register, I am looking for replacement roundels..
