trickyrich Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Welcome aboard, you do manage to find the most interesting of builds in 1/144th! This one especially looks lovely, you should have put a coin beside it to show everyone just how small she is! From the photo's the moulding looks really crisp, so she should be a fairly trouble free build. Well again welcome and good luck with the build and there will be no doubt in seeing this little lovely finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedman Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 I've made a start on it I've cleaned up the casting blocks on the wings and fuselage, removed the blocks form the intakes, tailplane and exhaust and I've also trimmed the canopy to fit. Test fit of parts. I read in a review that it's a tail sitter. To cure this I drilled some holes in the underside of the fuselage and glued in some Liquid Gravity. I also drilled 1¼" into the rear fuselage to help lighten it a bit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 she looking great, lever placement of the weights, guess there really isn't anywhere else they could go. Plus drilling out the rear section is a clever idea as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 This must be tiny - I'm guessing cm squares on the cutting mat? Looking very nice so far. Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedman Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 This must be tiny - I'm guessing cm squares on the cutting mat? Yup, it's 7cm long and it's wingspan is 8cm! Replacement 10 thou card gear bay doors. First primer coat revealed lots of bubble holes which were filled. Second coat on, just a few more bubbles to fill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 arrr bubbles, what would resin be like without them....... a hell of a lot easier for one thing! Those card doors are tiny!!! She does look nice even undercoated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedman Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've made a real push over the last few nights Cockpit, primed, painted, decaled, weathered and fitted. Canopy masked and fitted. Primed, painted, glossed and decals started. Decals finished, clear coated and given an oil pin wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedman Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Almost done! The painting is finished, a finished it off with some matt varnish on the anti-glare panel and wing walkways. I've fitted the undercarriage and now I've only a few things to do before getting some proper photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
