Marcdb71 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I know exactly what you mean.I think that you have to keep them quite subtle when you do them, you certainly don't want them to be the first thing you notice when you look at a model. Thanks on the advice guys have given them a light rub down with 8000 & 12000 micromesh hopefully with paint on they wont be so in your face but noticeable!

Just waiting for brass tubing to turn up so I can do the gun barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Nice touch Marc. With this whole GB bookmarked for future reference this is one of the builds I will probably dip into regularly. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcdb71 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Painted & just drybrushed the seat Decided to shorten the stance of tail wheel cut off locating tabs & used plasticard drilled with 2mm drill cut out & superglued in place about 3mm lower down than original then cut piece of plastic superglued & pinned front locating tab, cut off fork then drilled & pinned for the MDC fork. Dry fitted the fork haven't decided wether i want tailwheel turned left or right yet. Thats it for now going to rivet the wings today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcdb71 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Cockpit done just dryfitted into fuselage cant really see alot of the IP Got to say really enjoying this build & watching everyone's builds they are truly inspirational glad to be part of it.

tank152 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Great IP, although you have to wonder why we all bother spending so much time on things we never really see when the kit is built. It is I find, one of the most enjoyable parts of the build though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you really enjoyed doing the cockpit, on another note can't find the joystick so went on hannants ordered a couple of resin replacements & another hasegawa 1/32 d9 which they've got on special save a 1/3 off the RRP. Have got the fuselage & wings together just got to mate them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnerdad Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Coming on very nicely, the IP is superb. I'm just starting the rivetting on mine too, I've got a long way to go but I definitely agree that it adds a lot of interest and scale realism.

Marcdb71 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Got wings glued to fuselage had a torrid time trying to get them to mate properly quite a bit of sanding & dry fit to get them right think the problem was down to me & not the kit, Will get some photo's done 2morow as I have rest of week off. Hope to get somewhere with it this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
