Hardtarget Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 This one i started yesterday and is not such a simple build with some fettling required for sure throughout. Box shot Intake walls and sides of the pit were painted black with the inside of the intakes aluminium. These has to be sanded a lot so that the grills on the intake could fit slight proud through the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardtarget Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well after the birth of my son on saturday, moddeling resumes taking advantage of paternity leave. Next up for this bird was the cockpit. Sprayed night with highlighting in alu. Seat painted leather. Tub sandwiched between the fuselage halves. There are no locating pins on this kit so careful alighnment is requred. Even with this there is a little overlapping of the halves that required sanding to shape. Whilst that was drying, the wings were cemented and given a spraying od EDSG as a base. Fuselage now dry a little bit of sanding was required. Wing were then cemented on. They are not a great fit, so filler was used to fill those little gaps. And last night the kit got an airbrushing of EDSG. Im using a very old tin of Gloy for this colour.
