Michael Taylor Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 My first work post here, my first post was to ask what a BOL launcher was called so I could find some-mission accomplished. Got some work done this weekend.... The panel lines are fairly shallow, some I re-scribed and I added a black wash before painting. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Taylor Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Tail planes were a bit droopy but a simple fix.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume320 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 It looks like such a clean build compared to some of the putty monsters we've been used to see from the Revell kit... Did you follow the kit suggested construction sequence or did you deviate from the instructions? 😎🍿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Yep the tail planes fitted loose for me too, had to stiffen them up. The result of having the locating hole had way between two parts. Nice progress so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dov Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Oh you are doing good. Be careful! The kit is a beast. I worked with resin and etched parts. Look at it! At RFI. Maybe you get some idea! Happy modelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
