exdraken Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Hola everybody, you can't have enough models on the bench, can you? CASA C-101 Aviojet "Mirlo" 1/48 resin kit Spanish Air Force Academy San Javier air base bought already more than a year ago, but unfortunately not startet! so next to my STGB entry of a Spanish Airforce F-5M, http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234994838-sf-5m-ae9-ala-23-spanish-air-force-148/ I thought I could easil(l)y start a second Spanish trainer! it is the only C-101 in 1/48 anywhere available, and it is a low volume resin kit form a very dedicated enthusiast from Spain. He also does a C.295 and the C-101 in 1/72. Can be bought form his website or ebay. here is what you get: lots of massive resin with very nice detail, 2 vacform canopies, a detailed cockpit, 2 ejection seats MB MK.10 an decals for Patrulla Aguila #7 and 2 standard trainer schemes. In Spain the jet is called Mirlo (blackbird) or sometimes culopollo... nice and highly detailed decals! I started to hollow out the tail so it might not be a tail-sitter in the end.. so after a lot of dust, dry fit is quite nice! I have not decided on the scheme yet, so... hope you like, it, thanks for comments and ideas! maybe someone has already built it?? Hasta pronto, Cheers, Werner Edited April 30, 2016 by exdraken 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Now that is a nice one to follow. Bought the 1/72 CN-235 just last week and I'm really curious how this one is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 main fuselage parts joined, does not look so bad actually! of couse a little seam to tackle, but nothing like "looks good on one side but the other...." quite pleased for now! don't want to loose detail so I put some tape next to the joints while sanding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Very cool and a bit nostalgic. I've seen the Spanish aerobatics team a couple of times with their Aviojets and very much enjoyed the show. They're the only team I've seen that would perform in the pouring rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsuzuki Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have this same model, so I will follow your build closely! How do you plan to clean the wheel wells? My copy has the same problem as yours with some excess of resin there. I am worried to break the wing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjD Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This is going to be a rare treat to watch. Look forward to seeing more of it as it's great so far. Makes me want to dig out a full resin kit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 update: wings only there for visual check, the alternative "desktop model" canopy gives a good impression on the general shape of the aircraft! :) How do you plan to clean the wheel wells? My copy has the same problem as yours with some excess of resin there. I am worried to break the wing... no need to worry about the excess resin in the wheel wells, I just took a sharp knife and cut it away, it is not solidly combinded whit the wing , seems to just an a bit leaky form... apart from that, wings are glued (wuite alot of superglue needed on a resin model!!!!!), a bit of sanding was necessary and eye judgement with the anhedral but nothing too horrible 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know this! My copy has two big blobs of resin there...It really seems as a leak, but on mine it has a good size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 That is brilliant work on what looks like a tough kit. I will keep checking back to see your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 some cockpit work: some detail paintnig, a stick!! and maybe some decals from airscale? these are Martin Baker Mk.10, so I am sre I will find some in the stach that are more detailed, although with closed canopy I doubt that you would notice to much! actually the kit ones are quite nice, proportional and with some seat-belts even presentable!

exdraken Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 next thing I really wonatd to know is what to expectfrom the vacform canopy... as this is a very important aspect if the final model has any resemblanc to the real plane! so here my quick hand-held check: to my eyes, it really looks the part! what do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centollaman Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) looks great! but rework a little the nose cone line. Edited January 20, 2016 by Centollaman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 hola Centollaman! gracias! I do not exactly know what you mean that should be corrected with the nose, but I took a little bit away here: better? apart from that , I found 2 ejection seats form renaissance flight which seem to be perfect! + best regards, Werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Tracking the process ....you got good progress going on there....

Ms Modeller Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I've just bought the Patrulla Aguila 1/72 version of this from them! Just gotta wait for it to made and delivered now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Don't always check out 1/48 builds, but when I saw 'CASA C-101 Aviojet' I just had to have a look. Very pleased I did, looks like a very nice kit. Always fancied a Patrulla Aguila Aviojet in the collection. I limit myself to only doing 1/72 scale kits, so I was pleased to see one available. I'm afraid my Spanish is non-existant so I couldn't make out much of the Ebay Spain web site. However, I did manage to work out which kit has the decals for a standard Patrulla Aguila machine. Could anyone help me out please? Does it contain any decals to help with the red/yellow/silver colour scheme?, as I think I may struggle to mask it up and paint it myself. The C-212 Aviocar looks tempting too, at only a few more Euro's than the 'jet. Will follow this with interest. All the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resin experince is definietly required or learned on the job if you need any further help, don't hasitate to contact me! best regards, Werner Edited May 25, 2016 by exdraken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Modeller Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) He does speak English too - as I messaged him on eBay and he responded promptly. Just remember it's a 30 day wait PER model. Edited February 5, 2016 by Lexicon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 back to the kit! sprayed the interior very dark grey as base color: and the gear bays in Humbrol Metal Cote, as well as som exterior parts to get an idea about how shiny the surface would be: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks for the kind replies to my post for info/help. Shame about the decals (although what you do get looks very comprehensive), I will order one anyway. If the display team markings prove too much for me I can always do a standard machine. Nice work so far exdraken, looking good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonehammer Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Nice build of a nice kit! It looks reasonably detailed OOB but the IP clocks are on the big side perhaps? Always liked this plane, looks like a kindergarten Phantom. Btw I looked up 'culopollo' and lost it for a while... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work so far exdraken, looking good. To be honest, it's not much worse than when you do Patrouille de France or Diablo Rouges Fouga Maigster/Alpha Jets. Just use masking tape, take your time, and maybe make a mask too. back to the kit! sprayed the interior very dark grey as base color: and the gear bays in Humbrol Metal Cote, as well as som exterior parts to get an idea about how shiny the surface would be: Can you do us all a favour and keep a list of what paints you use for the model? As you're the first here to brave it - and we all want to make one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
