Pin Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I thought "I have too many unfinished projects, why not to start another one" and pulled ABM MDR-5 box out of vaults. The box content is shown here: The prototype: Don't worry, the mast with a windsock is not an integral part of the plane The interiour will be mostly invisible, except for the cockpit so I did not put much effort to detailing it This is a big boat, the wing is moulded as a single piece of resin and therefore quite heavy As mentioned before, because of large cockpit windows one should not neglect detailing it Wing and fin attached. There is another freshly started project on the forefront - PR-12 resin kit by AirKits 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Very interesting projects . I love the MDR-5 Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Body is ready for painting. The original was not NMF, rather a metallic paint, therefore no panel effect. Not happy at all with the first layer. More fine sanding ahead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Some update. Decided not to paint the turrets but to imitate the framing with thin self adhesive foil strips. Gave it some sanding to make it matt All control surfaces in place The kit does not include bombs so I decided to make copies using ICM SB kit 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenCJ Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) This is a very interesting build and she looks fantastic. I wish you had not shown anything of your AirKits kit. I went looking for AirKits and found this http://scalemodels.ru/articles/8477-AirKits---Kajuk-1-72-ant-7-sssr-n-166.html I would like one, where do I get one from.

Pin Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 I always look at MiniWorld guns with awe - how can a human being produce such finesse? This is not scale modelling but jewellery or watchcraft. Does the man behind MiniWorld fixes Pateks in his spare time? Decals Washing All the parts in place Well, I could declare it "done" ..but ... The bombs. I want to add the bombs and this would require some scratch building 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killingholme Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Wow, that looks fantastic. The surface detailing on that kit looks first class- the 'lapped' joints on the skin panels is so rarely achieved. I'd be tempted to buy one, but I'm guessing they are either astronomically expensive or out of production? Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, both, I afraid. I paid £130 for the kit, it is sold out and there are no plans to resume production AFAIK. I have, however, ROM-1 kit for sale https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235036338-172-grigorovitch-rom-1-resin-kit-by-abm-released/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have probably most of the the Prop&Jet back catalogue in the stash. The problem I have is I take them out occasionally, realise they are such jewels of kits, many now long out of production and probably quite valuable. All that means I never dare build them!
