DSC_0063 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Airscoop constructed. DSC_0064 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Air Scoop affixed to the engine intake. DSC_0065 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Airbrushed insignia white DSC_0066 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Ready to be cemented together DSC_0067 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Top & Bottom fuselage halves cemented together with a little persuasion at the rear end. DSC_0068 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Tails bits and pieces cemented in place, no issues to this point whatsoever which is what you expect from a Hasegawa kit. DSC_0069 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Engine and exhaust components which allow you to rotate from horizontal to verticle when made. Careful not to get paint in the rotating sections or it simply wont. Same for any glue, which should be used sparingly. DSC_0070 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Flaps installed. Be careful as they are easily confused if your clipped them off the sprue and go to place them without knowing which is which. Basic knowledge but easily done. DSC_0071 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Ready for primer DSC_0072 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Paints to be used.

PhantomBigStu Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Looks fantastic, very tempted to get one myself though the price plus the extra cost of decals as I’d have to do a British one puts me off, watching along anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardtarget Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Right Chaps, i many not have finished this for the GB in time but ive been progressing with it. Cockpit was constructed and painted using the decals provided. Its a complete black tub and seat combo with little colour but ive tried to highlight some areas with anthracite. DSC_0005 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Airframe was airbrushed MRP 280 camo grey DSC_0006 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Masking begins with all the lighter grey panels. DSC_0014 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Airbrushed using Light ghost grey DSC_0015 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Then it was time for all the white bits. DSC_0016 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Masking removed and she is looking the part. DSC_0017 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Next us was the shimmer and this was created using MRP 278 HAVE Glass. Its massively noticeable in the pics but definately noticeable in the hand. DSC_0018 by stuart wellard, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
