almac Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Nice quick work there Pabbi. Is the hasegawa D kit as good as the A kit? I've never built one of the D variant might give it a try. Cheers Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabbi Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 thanks dazdot Allan this is my first ever Hasegawa 1/72 kit, so I do not know about the A-kit but this one sure is nice, no problems and no putty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Not a bad kit, but the closed undercarriage/MLG bays are a bit of a let down. Nice, speedy work with this! Be ready for decals in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazdot Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I concur with that its a nice kit looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabbi Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 pitot and "tail antenna" now broken off... and lost.... no surprise RLM 74-75-76 now painted, next the yellow on the rudder and front 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazdot Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Shame about the pitot and tail antenna fine wire for pitot? And a small piece of stock for the antenna should be fine. Nose work on the paint and great mottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 A shame indeed, best bet for the tail antenna mount is take it all off and glue a new piece on. Coming along nicely otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
