Twentecable Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hi girls and guys. This will be my next build. I choose the model because I can display it showing off the engine. The boxart, No Revell flighty box but a sturdy one inside. The instructions are black and white on paper, Upon opening the box you will see this, the top sprue lying unprotected on the bag.This is because the bag is to small, saving on the wrong end :(. Nice details and ok decals. I ordered some stuff for this build. An Eduard zoom set, and Montex decals and masks. I liked the blue grey sheme together with the red and lightening, so my first aftermarket decal set will be used! I will build the 02 version. Also I ordered Mig paints for a first time, curious if I like them more then Vallejo. Lastly Mr Solvent putty... After all those brands I tried this is such lovely stuff!!! Since I waited on my delivery I started with the motor block. Well those rods dont fit at all, also reference pics showed that those rods are one size, so I replaced them with styrene rods. I kept the cut of pieces and used the thinner parts as spark plugs for the wiring, I drilled them out a bit as seen on the picture but it seemed I needed to drill them out completely to make I was able to bent the wire along the block. So then it seemed the back of the block is very visible and just a disc. I tried to recreate the back of the engine as realistic as possible but the seizes dont natch and my skill lacks to recreate some of the finer details. I added wiring from stretched sprue and some other pieces. Not super realistic but I think more interesting to look at then before. I also build the interior frame work. A bit of hassle to clean it up but it looks nice. So far so good? Thx for watching, comments are welcome. Greetings Lars 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twentecable Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hi Just a small update. Put the basic paint on the interior. Next week will be very busy so I hope for some progress with detail painting, pe applying and weathering in the weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twentecable Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 So guys, after 1,5 months!!!! Finally some progress. I think I dreaded the PE :/. Rightly so it seems because I launched one of the pedal straps leaving it to the carpet monster :/. Some of those pieces are impossible. Like piece you have to bend round and the fold together. However managed that can sent me a pm... I repainted some of the PE pieces for more depth or just because they were silver like the wheels and lines. Having taken most of this hurdle I hope on a what quicker progress now :). Greetings TC Nice to see the sinkmark now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twentecable Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Well the cockpit is finished. I love all the detail in the kit and the PE. Very rewarding. Some PE is very fiddly, like the blue wiring. How Eduard thinks anyone can apply that??? I did my best and though not perfect, I am satisfied.

Twentecable Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi guys and girls, Its lovely weather for vacation and moddeling. So here is a bit of progress... Because of the lack of surface details I used extensive preshading. It didnt worked out as planned, mainly due to using a new medium, Mig transperantor, wanting to spray camo by hand and using a new airbrush and airbrush technique. Way to much at once. I guess I will try to save this using alot of aftershading weathering. Lets see if the oilbrushers can do some magic. Also painted the details on the engine. Everything is in lacquer so I hope for some more progress at the end of the week and maybe a finished model by the end of my vacation.

Biggles87 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I have one of these in the stash and I keep opening the box and looking at it then putting it back. It looks like a very well detailed kit, I'm just a little concerned about my ability to deal with fine detail in 1/48 due to a general lack of manual dexterity and failing eyesight. I will watch yours with interest. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twentecable Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi John, if you follow the instructions after carefully studying them, the built is straightforward and very nice Otb. I really recommend it. I myself are not known for my dexterity and my eyes are pretty bad...but it still works :). Thanks for following this. greetings TC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a few seconds to realize it was pre-shading. Your Camouflage in the second photo looks quite good though. I think you should be able to take care of it with post-shading/weathering. Your engine is top-notch as well. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well try it agwin but differently on the next model. Thx for liking the camo and engine 😊. Greetings TC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
