JackG Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 This looks very good. The canopy could still be fixed. Buff the flat out with fine grades of sanding pads, or an even quicker fix would be to brush on a coat of acrylic clear. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Well done young man. It looks great. Wish my first one did look that good. Keep em coming. And hey - forgive dad for the canopy - good to see that the old man isn't perfect himself, not? ;-) Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Message for Jack, go to the kitchen , get Mums rolling pin and smash all of Dads easter eggs the Plonker Then don't let him touch your builds again Put some clear coat on it, that will fix it. Great job before he ruined it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xffw45343tg Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Other option for the canopy is the foul weather covers... Aside from that, very promising build of the only aircraft you'll ever need to bother about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedbird 48 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Jack did a good job! I am around his age, but my intrests in moddling are mostly WW2 planes. Some tips: He could have done a little more deatailing/weatheriing in the air intakes, and the misslies. Other then that it looks very good!

robvd Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Way to go Jack. Keep up the good work. It is nice to see work of young people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 That's a very nice build – congrats! The simplest fix for the canopy is just write to Airfix, explain the situation and ask for a replacement. I hear they're on their toes when it comes to customer care. Really good job (except the you-know-what). Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonf45 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Great Job Wish my builds looked that good now, let alone when i was 12!!!! Looking forward to seeing the Vulcan ( make sure Dad stays away from it ) And, as mentioned above, Airfix are superb when it comes to replacement parts Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace From Outer Space Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I last built a harrier, an AV8B i think it was back in the mid 90's when I was in my twenties and even with the foggy glass, it wasn't as good as this! Well done little man, looking forward to seeing the Vulcan when its done! Cheers Viv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 jack has been on with this for about a month..all his own efforts.he 12 years old.only cock up was mine,i sprayed mat cote while the canopy had been unmasked.so the foggy canopy was dads stupid fault,not his hope you like daz Very nice job, far better than anything I did at that age!!!, if it was acrylic spray varnish, household ammonia and a cotton buds will clear the canopy very well & then finish it off with a thin coat of gloss and it will look great.

chacer Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Fantastic work! I wish I could have done this at your age. Master modeller in the making I think. Dad= Muppet lol, get onto airfix & order a new canopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Dad=Muppet is possibly my favorite quote from the whole post! What a sterling job you have done. I really like the camo and the overall finish. I wondered if Tamiya's fine polishing compound, a nice smooth lint free cloth and a little gentle elbow grease might remove Dad's nasty spray and shine up the canopy a treat???? But I'd try the other contributors ideas before my experiment! Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
