Mr B Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hello All I am currently in the mids of building 2 1/48 Pilatus Pc-7 from Fibre Models. It is a full resin kit which is of a short run variant. Lots of clean up and work to be done.....this is where I am at now........... Just about to primer Twin shot.....one is primed and the other is almost ready for clean up The canopies don't sit well so some modification was needed....and most likely they will be left open.............. Now I am scratch building the seats as the kit supplied seats do not look the part..........following that will be to ready for the paint shop.......... Happy Modelling Rgds Brian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 looking great! well done of a seemingly quite difficult kit! the primed one looks like being only one part! PS, there is a need for a conventional plastic PC-7!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Never seen a PC7 build in the flesh before. What scheme will they be in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks chaps Yes it's does not come with many pieces but cleaning and prep is a lot with resin.....I agree exdraken.......it's a wonderful subject missed in injected form....I wish one comes up soon.... Darby - thanks.....I hope they come out well......both of them will be Malaysian birds....one will be in Taming Sari colors (later scheme) which was once the RMAF aerobatic team made up of instructor pilots. The other will be in green camo belonging to 3 FTS which is used in COIN roles......it has a sharkmouth Hope to post some progress soon Rgds Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Progress Managed to paint the aerobatic taming sari bird. Some clean up required..but all in all ...the scheme is more or less done Rgds Mr b 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 nice paint work! well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thanks guys But bad luck striked and it's a repaint job I am afraid. I noticed the scheme needed some tweaking as there was some errors and omissions...After doing so...it looked worse off....so off came the paint and I have just repainted the white base. hope the repaint is error free and I am satisfied with it. Progress soon Rgds Mr b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi folks Managed to get some work done on both of them Primed and resanded the rough spots.....testing the shark mouth motive too....as that area will need to be masked....for the home printed decal. It's ready for a rescribe and then a bath and into the paint shop The other one is also repainted and futured next will be decalling and cockpit work. Thanks for dropping by Rgds Brian 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi Folks Got some work done and painted the other one Waiting to reprint the decals for the sharkmouth....and in the mean time will see me trying to complete the cockpits and other bits on both of them Happy Modelling Rgds 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Managed to start the decals.....the sharkmouth teeth had to be cut out from the decal image as there was something funky with the printing process as you can see in the picture it printed with a grey background.....anyways here it is few more decals to go namely serials n fin flashes....
