Jinxman Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 All ready and waiting here - I'll be plumping for the Olt.z. S.Gotthard Sachsenberg version with the funky yellow and black scheme - silly boy that I am. Early start Saturday for me, twelve hours off and then back at it early Sunday, all being well. 😀 cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinxman Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Battle is joined - I'm still a bit groggy, not really my best time of day. Perhaps I'll get one of the offspring to knock me up another cup of Earl Grey in a minute. 🙂 Here is the culprit; Arma Hobby's very nice looking Fokker. Hopefully it will slot together easily and allow a bit of time for decalling. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting into it a little slowly; there is some nicely detailed cockpit stuff, but quite a lot of flash which is a bit fiddly to remove. The jig for aligning the u/c is handy. I also filled the grooves in the wing - fairly sure the plywood covering would have had a smoother finish than that. Olive drab airbrushed onto the offending parts, and the few black bits will get the same treatment next. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinxman Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Cheers, music selection might have had something to with it..😀 Cardigans - Gran Turismo Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around Cast - The Collection Cerebral Fix - Tower of Spite Black Sabbath - Best of.. Should be enough to keep anyone going.. Lunch soon - I'm positively Hank..🥙 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 ..and a bit of lunch. I'm spoilt sometimes. 😉 Wild garlic pesto and pasta, chilli & cheese bloomer, and a nice bit of salad. Just a shame there is no room for a little cider with it.. 🍻 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Progressing ok, apart from Flickr which won't let me do anything. 😤 Descriptions now, pics later, all being well. The wing didn't come out too well - I think I must have rubbed all of the Perfect Putty out - never mind, as it's now had the first coat upper and lower surfaces - hopefully I'll get the purple and brown on in the next two hours. Fuselage stitched up - wasn't too bad, and I still need to add some of the cockpit bits in, but I wanted it to set overnight just in case. Engine painted and dry-brushed - it came out ok I think. Tailpalne had a blast of Mr.Base 1000 - came out ok so I can use that without anything else on it. Keep on keeping on... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 ..and that's me for the day. Further music by; James Blunt - Back to Bedlam David Bowie - Low Blur - Parklife Wing has the main bits of paint on - a little bit of touching up, and the streaky effect can be added tomorrow as it will be dried out, A few bits primed white, mostly as a background for yellow - not much left on the sprue now, just the fiddly bits for the end, ..and the rest - even got a touch of filler on the fuselage - sent the PPP to the naughty bin and used the Citadel stuff - it'll be rock hard by the morning. 😐 A beer and nut roast with broccoli await - see you all in the morning 🤙 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinxman Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Yellow's on, wing 'streaking' done, and first coat of Klear applied to the wing. Put too much on and it ran, but can be sorted I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 ..and some big decals on, fuselage with two coats of Klear, and some silly, small decals that I can't see without the Optivisor on. Tea and leftover pasta for me - see you later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Incredible, such good quality here and with all the builds....I wonder why then it takes us 24 months usually to build stuff when actually we seem to be able to do in 24hrs just as good. I really fancy trying one like this, love the wings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really fancy trying one like this, love the wings Thanks. I agree about the time thing - I've got a stack of stuff on the shelf of doom - but the last kit I finished was last year's Blitzbuild. (Albeit the day after the Blitzbuild finished). 😀 Unfortunately I've just discovered a kit with the 'self-folding decals from hell.' I should have gone for the Polish version. Plodding on but can't get it properly finished now as I've got bits of black lozenge missing which will have to be added later - never mind eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 ..and that's me as far as I can get. Shouldn't take much to finish it off though. Blitzbuild 2 - Jinxman 0. I'll be back in August though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
