Duncan B Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 My Mojo has been at an all time low for so long I can't remember my last completed model, but do know it has been over a year. I needed something quick (that is a relative term in this modeller's language) and simple to get over the finish line so picked a Meng Kids He177. This would also give me an opportunity to try out the new Mission Models acrylic RLM colours for the first time. I hope you like it as much as I have enjoyed building it. For a snap together kit the tolerances were amazingly tight, I had to scrape the paint off the pins to get things to fit. The clear parts were probably some of the clearest I've ever seen and the instruction booklet was well designed with some nice information on the real aircraft included along with some lovely artwork. All in all a testament to Meng's engineering and kit production techniques. The Mission Models acrylics were really nice to use and the colours matched the Kieroff Paint chips very nicely.

Gorby Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm starting to like these 'egg planes'. When they are well built and painted, like yours, they look great. Sorry to hear about your mojo. Mine has taken a bit of a hit recently, but today was the first day I have painted something in about four months. Has this kit given you enough enthusiasm to start another kit?

Thanks Gorby, to answer your question, yes it has. These 2 have made their way onto the desk. 2 hours ago, Vultures1 said: That looks great!

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The He -177 looks good even if it is a Toon plane. Not my ☕️ Of Tea mind you but good looking none the less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear that Duncan - those 109's are looking great so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Mr Mojo is at full strength there are started kits all over the place, the Postman is delivering new ones every second day and some even get finished!
