_H_ Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Ok, just to show progress is happening I have got the MiG all primed up ready for paint: (excuse mess) Hopefully get started tonight with the dialectic panels! Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well I've not had a lot of bench time recently but last night I got back on the SMT, in fact I sprayed all the top colours in one sitting! Free hand with Gunze paints as per instructions so may not be as accurate as you guys with the Akan stuff. I quite like the look of it though! Wife is out with the girls tonight so hopefully get a lot more done! Hope you like Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsPhil Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yeah that is an issue with these kits unfortunately! That sent me cross eyed when I did my SMT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Cheers Phil, Yeah I really want to get this done for the deadline! The decals are scaring me though, LOADS of stencils!!

_H_ Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Darn it Jabba don't tell me that!! I got some serious model time in last night, 9pm till 3am so all ready for decals now! I must admit I was hoping to have this done for Wednesday but it looks unlikely I think. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 ARGH stencils! Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Once again apologies for poor photo but only about 60 airframe stencils left to do now! I've resigned myself to the fact that my own wednesday deadline is now unlikely but I think I should be able to finish it for the actual GB deadline. Really enjoyed this build!

Tom Cooper Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Trevor, I think you're missing two additional stencils near.... Don't worry, was just a joke: very nice work, and I'm happy to see you brought it this far. Now just the last few things, and you'll be there. ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cooper Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hehe... but you know what's worst of all? I thought this would be a 1/72 scale modell, and was all the time 'wondering' how comes it takes him 'that looong'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Lol!! You and I might fall out here Tom Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cooper Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 In the future I guess the best is to post description of the scale something like this '1/48 you stupid' - just for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 HORRAY!! My decal work here is done!! I feel strangely void now ;( Anyway, home stretch now, I have created a list of the finishing items Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 That looks more like a shopping list. Good luck with finishing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Licker Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 It's not just me that needs to keep a list then?! Still doesn't stop me forgetting stuff mind. Looking very nice here, I love the look of these in wrap around camo :-) Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Thanks Gentlemen! I normally only do a list up near the end just to stop forgetting something......doesn't always work!! The list itself is considerably smaller now, in fact (touches wood) if all goes well she'll be finished tonight!! Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
