IanHx Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Found this little beasty languishing on the Windowsill Of Incompletion....... Think it must qualify as one of Beardie's Britmodeller X-Files.... the box says 1/72 but it looks much bigger than that ! A few bits to glue on, tailfin tip to paint and then it's decal time..... might even get round to completing it this year ! ..

It's twice the size of the MiG 29 I'm also working on. External dimensions aside, the cockpit tub / seats seemed much bigger than other 1/72 kit's which is what made me uncertain about scale.

IanHx Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Urgh... decals are horrible... not even a liberal coating of decalfix is making them stick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decalfix is my nuclear option and has never failed me yet. They must be bad. Don't give up though. Try drying the decal off painting some gloss varnish onto the model and sticking them on.....it may work....hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHx Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Putting a little bit on at a time seems to be doing the trick... particularly on curved surfaces. Lots done, far too many to go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHx Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 How hard can it be to put some decals on an aircraft ? Very, when you notice that part of the bit painted red needs to be painted silver before the next one goes on....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
