Fuad Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Good day, gentlemen! Another model from good old MPM. Rubbish kit with a poor detalisation of the cabin. A vacuum formed canopy bubble but not a high quality and only one. There's little plate of photoetched. Engines were needed to be thrown out and be changed to another ones (from Vector), for what I was needed to melt the cowling from inside till the level of onion's skin. Were made:Pitot Tube that were made from medical needles, Navigation lights made from colored plastic, interior of the cabin was made from my own resources, saving belts, antennas' machts and cables, detalisation of chassis from medical needles, wheels were replaced, riveting, new lines were cut, every detail was seriously sharpened. Overall no detail has been left unsharpened. It seems to me that press-forms were worn out. Decals were also replaced because colors were slipped. Canopy bubble gave me the most trouble and it may be seen from my tries of flattening layers around it. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 1/72? That is 1/72?? I've built this kit many, many moons ago and it looked nothing - NOTHING like this!! I bow to your build! (i can't believe it's not 1/32 or 1/24 or....) Cheers Hans J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
