hadzi Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I made the rigging with EZ Line. It was my first and last time. In general, the model has really drowned me. Kit - old Matchbox, decals Yellow Wings. 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It would be a pity to never rig asnother model because you did a good job. It does get easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 What a superb job you've made of that. I can understand you not wanting to do it again if you didn't enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Very nice - didn't know that such a nice model can be made from the Matchbox kit. Great job. Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Lovely job. People are too quick to dismiss Matchbox kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC1966 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 It may have drowned you, but I think you should be delighted with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hi Jerzy, Wonderful finish on that early Helldiver. What was the problem that nearly finished you off?? I haven't used EZ line (but have used nylon thread) – what are the challenges with EZ line? Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ologist Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 That's a beautifully finished model, in a really attractive scheme. The rigging looks really good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi Jerzy, I find your Helldiver resplendent. For once I see a kit that has the correct hue of orange yellow on the upper wings (or at least in sync with my idea of what this color should look like!). I am debating whether I am to buy the Matchbox or the Heller kit f this plane... Whatever one I decide upon, it will be finished as a yellow wing. Great show, and congrats!

JR Hi Jean, I think Heller is better! The orange yellow or Chrome yellow is according to FS chip. Thank you and all the best for your project!
