My other builds have got me a bit bogged down as one is a resin that that nothing fits and has a surface like the moon and t'other needs a lot of sanding and filling, so I decided to dust this off and get her into the paint shop asap to try out my various Alcalds that I've had for forever but was inspired by how well they work as shown here.
The kit was an Amazon freebie back in January for being a vine reviewer that I did some prep on four weeks ago and promptly forgot so a little timeshifting... Note one piece body/wings, lovely.
Canopy with hideous lugs and matching canyons in fuselage, not so lovely
IP cloned from Eduard etch
Seat from Quickboost but with some bogus painting....note HB tree trunk control stick replaced with something more in scale.
Fuselage canyons filled with canopy lugs and smoothed with skimming putty:
HB aren't keen on the gear up option but that won't stop me, nor will the ludicrously misshapen and sized gear doors,
Cricut Air 2 to the rescue, a smear of Mr Surfacer 500 and she'll do.
Zipped up, magnetised, masked and ready for the Alcald grey first thing tomorrow.
