theplasticsurgeon Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Rejoining with this Pegasus Hobbies kit. This is the Military Museum Collection. Layed around at Jet Age intriguing me. I've NEVER heard of it before - let alone seen in. This kit was a donation, partial start on the cockpit area, and every part removed from sprue. Anyway here are the parts, that cockpit is well within the 10% rule. This is thick brown plastic, Instructions This kit has strickers as well as decals. Intent is to builld this as SD*X, that we have at Jet Age. Airfix and Pegasus has two different camo patterns - so I'm checking at Jet Age this afternoon. Hope is to maintain pace with my Novo build, and airbrush them both at the same time.

Max Headroom Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Never seen one of these built but I believe it’s erm.....inspired by the Hasegawa one. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Always room in the GB for another Hurricane and this will be the first time I've seen the Pegasus kit going together. Seems to have a reasoable level of detail for a low parts count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Fuselage assembled around the cockpit. And with wings assembled. Dryfit wings, they're fixed now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Looks to be coming together well. How well are the parts fitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just now, Col. said: Looks to be coming together well. How well are the parts fitting? Actually - quite well. There are massive locating lugs - that do align. Makes this more of a toy than a model though. And that brown plastic makes it something else 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Left JetAge early this afternoon and masked off the lower surfaces. and managed to get out an airbrush the brown in the shed. Camo patterns were scaled on copier on Friday - so one evening next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 So, last night I masked. This morning I airbrushed. And now I've removed all the masking material. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 It certainly looks the part and with no obvious hint of being a simplified kit over what Hasegawa or Airfix offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
