CedB Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Oops, sorry Stuart, should have clicked more to see he's out of stock How about this site? Sounds 'Oriental' but a UK company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Good afternoon gents. I hope you have all had a wonderful Yule. 🎄 Its been a busy old time of late with not a chance of plastic. This afternoon however I have been pulling the little wild cat together so I can start something new. That Helix, but the 1/32 Mustang gave me a bit of a look (you know the one) so the jury is still out.🤔 any way here’s the state of play. the Flory got a last brush off and I started popping everything together. Flaps and wings first. Then glued onto the fuselage while Tamiya tape holds ‘em in place. The little holding bars here. are a bit fiddly but nothing too bad. The eagle eyed will will notice the slightly bent tail wheel. We will come back to that later. 😣 Here we have the mat coat sprayed and the clear parts begging to have masks removed. turned out nice. and the front. Now before I can remove the fuselage masks and stick on the canopy I need to flat coat. bottom! and top. 😃 off with the office masks. nice to see you Mr Bond. 🍸 I finished the last bits of painting. Silver nose. Then glued on the canopy with some gators grip. But while holding the cat near the tail this happened. “Rats” to quote Mr B. Never mind, soon fixed but that needs to dry before I can do the last bit. nearly there. oooh excited for my next build now. hopefully finish tonight and I can get started. I love this in between bit. Take me care and thanks for looking in. Happy Modelling as always. Johnny. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Thanks for all the kind words. 😀 The finishing touches got added with a few mishaps along the way. 😫 While popping the ariel on the main fuselage cracked open. 😮 Luckily with the aid of a wrapped clip I managed to get that sucker back together. The canopy looks good on, just the rear one to fit after the fuselage dries. The prop is on as are the rear hook. And the little prong thing on the wing. The ariel on the top of the tail must have pinged off at some point so I just made a new one from wire. I’ll paint it blue when it’s dry. Sooooo apart from the rear canopy she’s done. RFI Soon. I’m out tomorrow having my first Fencing try out in town, ( The Boy will probably whip my Harris. 🤺 ) A meet up with some old college friends later on so nothing till the weekend. Thanks for dropping in again. Happy Modelling Guys. Johnny. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Looks great Johnny. A pity about the tail-wheel, I thought that they would of moulded it as a separate bit. Still all done mate. Which ever of the two builds you go for, I am sure that it will be a good one. Safe fencing. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
