John Masters Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 A lot has happened between then and now...I assembled and attached the landing gear, which was no mean feat. Six pieces, all kind of somewhat not quite precisely moulded...I managed to fit it all well and then let it set up. Then I began the rigging--.005 monofilament tinted with black permanent marker for the majority, the rest stretched sprue. This is how it looked this morning... So then I tackled the control lines to the tail feathers...and the decals on the top and undersides... I neglected to document the small bits of sprue for the lines on the control horns, but they were the last to go on. Then wheels and prop. And I suddenly realized that I was finished! The rest are in the gallery! I have a few days before the 80s/Asia GB begins so I think I will take on a small project, something that bridges the gap between the airplane and the helicopter... It also gets me in the Mother Russia mood! --John 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Congratulations John, you have done a wonderful job on this one. Should I ever get round to building my own copy of this kit, I hope you don't mind if I use your build as my guide, should my own turn out anywhere near as good as yours I'll be absolutely delighted. Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 This really has turned out superbly John, congratulations on another classic Frog kit built to perfection. If I can add one thing, your kits deserve better backgrounds for their Gallery snaps. The viewer should be focusing on all the models beauty rather than distracted by the usual modelling mess that we tend to live in from time to time. Cheers and very well modelled..

AdrianMF Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Very nice! The engine doesn’t look too bad when it’s in the cowling, much to my surprise. Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Nice job on that indeed John, your rigging is spot on, those surgical clamps are a darn good idea. Hope for the one among my stuff yet. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
