rob Lyttle Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Great to see this 'un again. Looking splendid! .... Wings too.... Don't forget the wings ‼️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox_Two Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 First wing glued on. I don't have plastic rods to hold it in place per the instructions. I'm trusting the bad physics positioning and a whole lot of super glue. Hopefully it will stay upright. This whole wing process has caused a lot of heartburn! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Your patience and hard work on this kit has certainly payed off !! Thanks for showing your new "evicted" workbench, you are soon going to spend a lot of quality time there with your kits (not kids) 😉 Allow me to copy your trick of using a plastic storage box as a paint booth 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox_Two Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) and drumroll........................................................................................................ We're Done! Come see the RFI thread HERE Some final thoughts... Didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. First, I airbrushed a bit too uniformly which led to me over weathering in post. I needed to show a little bit more mottle but I ended up blending it too much. I also am not happy with the canopy painting or the fit. I did some touch ups best I could but fit is fit. It's an older kit so you can only expect so much. Another way to save a headache in the future would be to attach the wings rather than pose them closed. Overall though I liked the kit. It was a decent build with more modern tooling. It has some fit issues but if you power through them you can build out a nice bird. Also don't do what I did and fall into the over weathering trap. I should've weathered more during the paint session and then just hit it with a wash and call it a day. But I'm still working on technique and it didn't turn out too bad. My grade for myself on this kit would be a B- It's not going to win any awards but it will look nice on the shelf. Feel free to check out some more of my work on Scalemates HERE.

rob Lyttle Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Fox2, if that's a B- then I'm the naughty boy at the back of class flicking paper pellets with a ruler. My only suggestion would be to give her some wheel chocks. Looking magnificent 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
