Ian Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Kit - Airfix 1:72 (2012 release) Paint - All Tamiya acrylics Decals - SM Silk Extras - None Folland/HS Gnat T1 'Red Arrows' Final Season, 1978 Interesting to read that the builder of the other Gnat posted here a few hours ago had 'issues' with the fit. I definitely did !! - The separate section between the gear bays fought me all the way and when I'd finished painting and decalling, came to insert the jet-pipe and ended-up with a 10mm split in the under-fuselage join.... B*gger !! Ahh well, it's only plastic modelling, not brain surgery, right ?? Ian 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms111s Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I've attempted to build 2 of these and ended up binning them as the fit was so rubbish. Yours looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logical Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I made the mistake of painting fuselage before putting it all together. I could have fixed the gaps otherwise. That and the instructions that came with the kit were rather confusing round the undercarriage area. I'd have put the wheels on the right way round otherwise.

BerndM Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sad to hear about the fit, these kits were designed for beginners ?? That fit problems made your result even greater, well done ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
