Hardtarget Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Parts DSC_0041 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Test fitting the fuselage and cockpit arrangement. DSC_0042 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Not very detailed but what are we expecting of these kits? DSC_0043 by stuart wellard, on Flickr I wasnt planning to renew the pit but i added a Mk.10c bang seat which is an improvement of the kit part by a country mile. DSC_0096 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Then it was painted. DSC_0100 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Bit of cockpit painting DSC_0097 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Fuselage cemented without issue will require a bit of filler, and the wings got their vanes. DSC_0098 by stuart wellard, on Flickr All filled and sanded using 'sprue glue'. DSC_0099 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Tamiya x-1 airbrushed on. and now she is looking nice. One thing i did have a problem with is the canopy didnt fit that weel and was too big, so a bit of sanding here and there was required. DSC_0103 by stuart wellard, on Flickr I think she is ready for decals tonight. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardtarget Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Rightho, Update and reveal photos. Problem, There was not advise to add nose weight in the instructions and i completely forgot that they hawk is a tail sitter. Any way a nice chopping of the nose at the panel line enable some lead shot to be fixed into place. DSC_0104 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Nose cemented back on with minimal damage. DSC_0105 by stuart wellard, on Flickr All sitting nicely and with pitot added. DSC_0106 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Decals on and coat of Klear to set them in. DSC_0183 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Some painting of the wheels left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
