Hardtarget Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 This looks a relatively straight forward kit so I pressed on with the wing and tail section of one of the kits. cockpit next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Remember to put in quite a bit of nose weight ballast... I don't think it tells you to put it in the instructions, but you need it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Good start, same plastic in both boxes? Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardtarget Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yes same plastic in both boxes, althou the AFRES boxing has no decals so shall be using some Two bobs A-10A Shark Bait ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardtarget Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Got a little ahead of myself here, with one cockpit already installed. This is a kit that pretty much builds itself, with only the join lines to contend with. I also started the other pit but haven't added nose weight as yet (i did on the first dont worry). Wing meets fuselage, fuselage meet tail section. Seem lines need addressing and also the jointing of the nose where the gun sits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
