Greg Law Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I'll be interested to see what he does with this. I'm sticking with the early jets. My current one is a He 280 followed by something small and British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current one is a He 280 followed by something small and British. My dad will start a Tamiya MiG15 in North Korean livery soon, in the near future a Hunter, most probably in Rhodesian colours. Maybe a Rhodesian Canberra and a Cuban T-33 will follow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 fuselage halves joint, now getting the joints smooth DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Painted the air intake FOD flaps with Vallejo Duraluminium (metalic) DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr Tried out how the intended dark camo colour Tamiya XF-18 Medium Blue looks next to the main camo colour (AK Real Color Air Superiority Blue). Turned out it is too dark and greyish, gonna add some blue and white. DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 air intakes glued together and masked, ready to get some metal paint inside DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr A little setback with the canopy....Hobby Boss molded 4 ejector? thingies onto the lower side frames, very thick connection, one already broke off in the box, the rest was removed by my dad. Due to the thickness parts of the frame were removed too. My dad tries now to fill the "bitemarks" with CA glue and sand the areas.

Parabat Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Can't believe there isn't more interest in this, your dad is a master, judging by his WW2 fighter builds. I have this as a future project, so I'm going to follow this. Nice to see it being built OOB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
