More shots, this one's going together quickly. The photoetch is fiddly, but the plastic is fitting together beautifully. No filler needed!

Started at 8:30 exactly
The fuselage makes a good jig for these two cockpit pieces
Wood texture with watercolour pencils
Cockpit parts complete! The seatbelts are a bit big, I reccomend cutting them shorter.

This thing looks small, so it should take less time......right......?
Starting tomorrow, aiming for the superhero option!

I've got a nice little Eduard Kunkadlo that looks like it may not take too long....though those may end up being famous last words.

I also like Solid Works, its the most intuitive CAD I've ever used. Now that work has gotten me used to Catia though, I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to anything else without missing one tool or another.

Those look fantastic. I would love to see more kits if GA types in this scale.
Maybe we'll see 3D printing become more mainstream for model production as time goes on.

Ha ha, when I read a Nomad I thought it would be a boxy STOL transport!
Hope you feel better soon mate.

Me too! I came for the airplane built where I work, but stayed for the new type I've never heard of and am keen to learn about

That is by far the most beautiful and realistic bare metal finish I've ever seen on a model. It's really inspiring me to build the Mirage IIIO I have in my stash!

Here's my 1:72 Airfix Gnat, built in 17 hours and 15 minutes:
It was challenging to get it done, but I'm thrilled withe the result. Great builds, everyone!

I remember seeing this plane in the Science Museum in London as a kid and always wanted to build the model.
That's the one that made me want to build this kit too.
I was very young at the time and thought that it was the smallest propeller I'd ever seen on a plane. How could it possibly have been so fast?

That's progressing quickly, you'll have it done in no-time. Nice job masking the canopy!

Woohoo! Finished!
Off to bed for me! Unlike last year, I'll try and remember to put it in the gallery tomorrow morning!
Happy building everyone!

Wow, the set for the prestart is something in itself, what are the 2 little 4 engines resin birds?
Little paper clips. They're also great for holding thin trailing edges and other small parts together while glue sets.
I got the paint on!
Now for decals!

Update time!
More cockpit paint, and side-build assembled
Cockpit decals applied
Inserted into the fuselage with seatbelts added
Wings attached, and some ejector seat cords made from the lead from a resistor
And canopy attached!

A few hours in and its snack time!
So, up to now I've assembled most of the interior. Here's the main cockpit parts:
Then I attached the inlets. Luckily I read through some views so I knew to expect that these would put up a fight. I got there in the end, but this is looking like a prime location for filling and sanding.
Paint for the cockpit started with black, then a mist of ocean grey over the top. Other details were then hand-painted in a few Tamiya colours.
Finally, a dark wash. After I finish this coffee, I'll add the instrument panel decals, then paint the main wheel-wells and close the thing up. I *think* I can attach the main gear after the fuselage is closed, which will vastly improve the masking and painting experience, but the instructions say not to. Test fitting will ensue.
