Reini78 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 My dad didn´t pay enough attention when he attached the front cowl and it became misaligned. So he cut it off again and glued it back on in the correct position. To cover the knife scars he has to fill and sand the joint again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Good recovery on the cowl! Nice little "rata". Do you know what markings you will use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna do the box art scheme. Some discussion about the colour, some say a factory applied winter camo, but don´t think so, also not a light grey, would be very unusual. Our best guess concurs with the ICM instructions, to say it´s painted completely in silver/aluminium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 filling, sanding and repainting done, but it doesn´t look good, don´t know what to do, make it dirty so you don´t see all the reworked areas, or doing a different scheme... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 The model hasn´t made it further, my dad wasn´t happy anymore how it looked after all the reworking and trashed it. He will build "Red 21" someday in the future again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
