This kit is almost a snap tight. Everything fits very well. I'll take care of the canopy and mask what I need to first. Then primer and paint! I think' canopy open' is a requirement. --John

Eastern Express Sea Venom...1/72nd scale...OOB
John Masters replied to John Masters's topic in FROG Squad II GB
Perfect? No. I am leaving them as is. This is where a decal would come in handy. I think I will rough them up a bit and 'chip' the paint. That will distract. Speaking of decals...It's all happening tonight! I will use the 'Don't Step' decals from the kit. I will have to look online and see where they go... --John- 48 replies

It was a bit thin. It cleaned up alright. Careful brushing with a thin hairy brush took care of it.- 48 replies

The wings are together, stabilizers and rudder attached. Now, having learned my lesson, once I am ready for paint I'll do all of the red, olive green, yellow and black then mask off for the NMF. --John

Thanks Dennis. So far I think this is the first. My goals today. The seats are funny. Typical AModel engineering. Lots of little pieces to make one thing... But it will work out. I'll do it all in stages. I lost one of the windows. The Carpet Monster got it, so I closed off the window on the side door with some plastic card. I'll finish the seats and the Shvetsov M-22 (Bristol Jupiter) motor tomorrow. Just the push rods for now. And some cleaning up to do on the seats before the hand rests are attached. --John

John Masters replied to John Masters's topic in FROG Squad II GB
I'm not sure what the blue flashes on the tip tanks are called...blue flashes, I guess. I masked the best I could then hand painted them. The result was pretty messy but I think they will clean up easily enough. At least I have the basic shape! And I took care of the wheel bay doors... My goal is to have a big decal run for the three jets currently on the bench before next weekend. Plenty of work to do still, but I feel it is time for markings. --John- 48 replies

I found an excellent WiP thread from a former member. I'll be following his lead in some ways.

Modelling the Hawk Biplanes ‒ Episode 1: The P-6E

OK. While I wait patiently for the Texaco Ford Tri-Motor decals to be decided upon up in Finland, I will throw this one into the ring...yet another 'Tin Goose'...I seem to have them on the mind regarding this GB. There is also a Junkers F.13 in the stash...Hmmm... I have had this kit on the shelf for a while and it seems like a good time to bring it out. Here's the lovely art work on the box. Big, bright red decals for the Aeroflot that will look really nice on the NMF. I'm not sure, but I think this kit represents a 'first flight' of sorts to show off the great skills of the Soviet Motherland. It was built in large quantities and replaced many of the other passenger planes that had been built in and purchased from other countries. Here is the sprue...Big wide wings. I'll do my best to make the interior look right. I'll investigate to see if there any images online of the cockpit and passenger areas. --John

I’ve asked Mika at Arctic Decals if he can help. If so, I’ll build something else in the meantime. ☺️👍🏻
