Muzz Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 This has been sitting about on the 'nearly finished' shelf for a few months now but managed to get the mojo back and get it done. It's Great Wall Hobby's 9-12 Early kit but finished OOB as a late Hungarian example in the striking 2008 Anniversary scheme just prior to the retirement of the type from the Hungarian Air Force. Was a great kit, a few minor problems with fit around the engine covers but got round most of it by leaving the engines out and fitting the afterburners separate. The camo is done free hand using Mr Hobby paints and the decals are Hung Aero Decals (HAD), bit of a love/hate relationship with them, the main aircraft decal was a nightmare and really struggled to get to conform and settle down, ripped just by looking at it too! After impressing myself with the two tone grey camo on the upper surfaces I then applied a semi matt varnish which caused problems, all this resulted in a serious loss of mojo and it's probably taken about 10 months to complete! 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hello,Muzz - Congratulations on a splendid looking build of your 'Fulcrum'.I love the quality of the paint finish and also the choice of scheme.Personally,I love to see a colourful scheme on an aircraft like this,away from the total greys all the time.It enhances the look of the model immensely.A Fine Fulcrum indeed!All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Thanks for all the positive comments folks, much appreciated. Forgot to mention that I was forced to leave the outer wing pylons off as I've managed to misplace one of them, I'm sure it'll turn up at some point (unless the dogs had it).

Andrew Perren Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 This is a great kit and a superb job in it. Well done. Did your kit have warped upper fuselage ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 This is a great kit and a superb job in it. Well done. Did your kit have warped upper fuselage ? No problems with the upper fuselage Andrew. Only fit problem was with the covers over the engines just in front of the exhausts, think I managed to alleviate this by not fitting the whole engines.
