Seamus Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Work continues, and she's starting to look like a Shar now. There's still quite a lot of work required to sort out the various seams, which is a slow process as it's my least favourite part of a build... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Worth spending the time on the seams though, makes a big difference to the final product! Nice work so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seamus Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) It's very much oin the backburner for now. I ran out of steam with it, as I tend to do whenever I venture into 1/48. This one will get finished though, eventually... Edited May 12, 2015 by Seamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG899 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Keep up the good work Shaun. Imagine one 1:48th build is 2 or 3 1:72nd scale ones For those in doubt about the Kinetic kits I'd refer you to the following comments by a late friend of mine, Steve Hague, from when the Harrier SIG built thirty (yes, 30!) 1:48th scale Airfix FA.2s for 899 Naval Air Squadron's decommissioning dinner in March 2005... (At that time the Airfix kit was the only game in town.) Cheers Nick "Let's build an Airfix SHAR FA2... Suitable only for well-adjusted adults who are not prone to bouts of unrestrained rage, swearing or self-harm. A full command of the builder's own language and vocabulary would be useful to alleviate the monotony of using the same choice expressions over and over again, especially when applying the decals. It is recommended that the builder takes regular breaks to avoid stress build-up, as well as allowing occasional exposure to natural light as this model may take a while. This model is not designed for flight and has not been stressed for sudden impact with walls or floor. Caveat emptor...! Might we also take the opportunity to recommend some useful products which might come in handy when making this kit. Humbrol Model Filler One large tube per kit should suffice - apply kit to filler, rather than vice versa Humbrol Medium Sea Grey Available in a variety of shades - including dark green in a tin labelled 165 it seems Wet & Dry - various grades As much as you can carry, maybe more Book of Eastern Meditation To bang your head on Prozac - Extra Strong As much as you can 'score' locally Telephone no. for Samaritans Just in case it’s all too much......!" Frequent calls may be needed. Remembering that we are model-makers and, having built 14 Airfix SHAR FRS.1s/FA.2s and 2 GR.3s, all I can say is - "Thank goodness for Kinetic!"
