This may be a slow build, I have quite a lot on at the moment, not least a 1:1 Landrover Defender in need of some attention while the weather is good. When I did the Gnat Swarm I promised I would never have more than one kit on the bench at any one time ever again. Here I go breaking that promise, I hope I don't come to regret it. I got the Italeri from Troffa for a fiver about five years ago, and he donated two large underwing tanks and pylons too. The Hasegawa I got at Huddersfield this year for three quid. I have a couple of resin seats coming, which cost almost as much as the kits themselves with postage included! The tan sprues are the Hasegawa and the grey are the Italeri. Taped together and with the intakes assembled and fitted they look like this: What do you reckon are the chances of those pitots making it to then end of the build un-broken? The intakes of both kits are made the same way, inner and outer pieces which are separate from the main fuselage halves. It makes for easier masking of the white interior but it does mean that they sort of fit in a not too perfect way. The gaps will need some attention, and the gluey fingerprints I managed to make on both Hase intakes will also need a bit of work. Italeri: Hasegawa: The Italeri will be done in the two tone grey scheme and the Hasegawa in the three tone camo with the big orange and black ID triangles as per the box art. I hope to be done by the October deadline.......
