Amen Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Hello this is my 1st Topic on the forums. I started this kit 4 years ago, Its was my comeback in modeling after a long period (15+years) of absence. So had no tools and modeling materials and it looked like this: On December 2010 decided to continue the kit. I clean up the putty sanded the melted plastic from glue and fixed the airbrake & intake areas.I also added some details back from the ejection seat according to scale spot's build. Then i sprayed a tire black on the model made the various corrections and masked some patch areas according to these photos: Then a black applied overall. Now It's almost ready and like this: I want to make something like this Edited December 9, 2011 by Amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham77 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 This is looking sweet, I have a soft spot for DA2 and was trying to find some pics of the spin gantry on the back to do exactly the same to a DA2 I have in Black, which I think is a great colour for her. Will be watching with interest you have done a really nice rebuild Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Hello Brit modellers,i have an update. Last days i'm working on it in order to finally finish it. I painted the internal areas of wings with gray and added the insulation plastics on the "glasses" The exhaust will be painted in 4 different colors. (some putty was needed here but i dont bother) The two holes on fuselage painted in the correct colors To complete the exhaust we need one more color to be sprayed.Then secure with sealer.At the end a wash will be apllied. Next on the line is the anti spin chute, which is a time consuming area.Some slight repairs on ef's skin are also needed.

Amen Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Γεια σου πατρίδα.Οχι προς το παρών θα μείνει έτσι.. δε νομίζω να αξίζει τα λεφτά για τη καρτέλλα και τα μεταφορικά αυτή η δουλειά. Hello and thank you very much.No i will not place the rooster,i think it rises the build costs too much for such a messy build.My work don't deserve any further costs.
