some more progress, addes some parts to the cockpit from the sparesbox, Eduard seatbelts used found out that NH848 was a FR XVIIIe, which would be identical to the XIV on the outside except a larger rudder sadly Academy didn´t include a second rudder (many XIV have been retrofitted with a larger rudder too) most probably doing a Thai scheme now DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0008 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

well, it didn´t turn out nice, so removed the paint and the decals underneath, masked and painted it again now the surface is a bit smoother DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

as mentioned Gunze H9

Gonna add a companion for the chakra roundeled Tempest. Seems there is no foto evidence, that RIAF Mk XIVs wore chakras, but it´s possible. DSC_0008 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0009 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr according to the info provided by a fellow Indian modeler and book author here on Britmodeller, almost all RIAF XIVs had clipped wings, so did cut away the wing tips DSC_0010 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

decals done and cowl mounted DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0006 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

decals didn´t work out as wished just didn´t lay down smooth although using several setting solutions ended up sanding them smoother and overpainting with Gunze H9 Gold the nose turned out good, but on the rest of the gold areas the surface isn´t that smooth and a bit grainy....

engine attached and started with the decals they are a bit brittle, so gonna use Microscale Liquid Decal on them DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

first primed with a MRP primer and then painted with MRP Sea Blue DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

seems nobody knows the Chinese camo colours usually in several kit instructions there´s only dark green and light grey mentioned my dad has lots of greens and grey in his paint stash, in the end he used AK RC AII Protective Green and Tamiya XF-19 Sky Grey DSC_0008 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0009 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr some paint for the engine if you mount it the way the kit is engineered, the cowl doesn´t fit DSC_0010 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

added the tanks and some other detail on the underside DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

slowly but steady gaining shape in some areas the kit shows its age, especially with the small parts where the molding halves are slightly shifted DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0006 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

After some pause, my dad started another F1 car. this time a Wolf WR1 from the British-Canadian team, owned by the Austrian-Canadian Walter Wolf. It´s the 2010 kit edition, including decals by Cartograf, PE and metal parts.

found no interior pic of the military version and have no idea how the Chinese air ambulance looked inside used all the kit parts and followed the painting instructions DSC_0008 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0009 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0010 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

After a longer quarter scale vehicle abstinence, it´s time for my dad to start a new one. DSC_0008 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr didn´t have enough AK RC SCC15 left, so used AK RC Forrest Green instead, it´s more or less the same green tone.
