grufsnik Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks folks Just getting started now. a couple of usual sprue shots. Sprues are all nice and clean, no flash or obvious marks or sinks and a very nice crisp set of decals. I wont be doing anything fancy with this, built straight from the box which is what i normaly do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grufsnik Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well sorry to all, i'me off to a very slow start with this build, but will try to put that to rights now. Nice simple straight kit this one, cockpit assembled and painted, some led in the nose for weight held in with bluetac. Next shots will be the halves together with the cockpit in, most likly the wings on and then onto the stores. i'me afraid the photos arnt very good, my phone takes a better shot than the camera! so i might try that next time. Thanks for looking,now off for a.... , your found bruv Gruffers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grufsnik Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Back on this project now after painting some wargaming stuff. Bit more progress, basically now heading towards some painting, pylons are on, stores glued up, canopy on e.c.t a bit of masking and then some halfords grey primer. thanks for looking, Gruffers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grufsnik Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Next pics of the plane undercoated with stores painted, you cant tell cos of poor picts but i drew in the paint sceme on the model i dont normaly but a slightly more tricky scheme on this one. For the paints i had to rummidge deep in the box and used humbrol 117 & 118 and tamia XF13, they might not be the most accurate but it's what i had. This kit is too small for me to try to air brush and too fiddly to mask so a couple of hours with some brushes, all free-hand Home straight now with decals and some final assembly with a splash of varnish to finish. Thanks Gruffers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grufsnik Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 An update..........!%$***~~####ks(oh yea it's going that well!!!!) ). Subject of model, nice. Quality of kit? good. Instructions? fine & clear.......,DECALS will not stay down!!!!(not happy). I agree with Dan in his build of the same kit, bin them and buy some others, you would struggle to keep these down with a house brick on them and mine wont stay put at-all. Repeated aplications off micro sol and micro set have not worked. So i will next try using johnsons clear or if that dosn't work then it's PVA and if that dosn't work then a HAMMER!!!! will be!! Dont know if i will beat the deadline but will try to, if i dont, this kit might get fed to the carpet monster one pice at a time.
