Jinxman Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Wow, an ambitious build for the GB. Good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Never seen or heard of that one before today. Has the look of a MiG-3 streamliner but reading up it's much more interesting than that. Looking forward to seeing it come together. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Blooming Nora Alexey Another plane I've never heard of, must have been a swine to land you can't see a thing from the cockpit ! Good luck mate cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Let's get started I now turn the camera clock on First I prime everything, it helps to control removing the parts from the stubs Dry check - the fit is just PERFECT! That what is making P&J kits ideal for this kind of challenge Instrument panel. Dials are scribed through black paint with thin needle, a drop of Klear into each deal supposed to imitate the glass Some cockpit washing to add volume Cockpit done, time to close the body Fuselage is closed. There are very tiny steps to get rid of but overall fit is very-very-very good Time for Boxing Day football! 14 minutes ago, JOCKNEY said: must have been a swine to land you can't see a thing from the cockpit ! Ha! The cockpit could be raised hydraulically during the takeoff and landing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not the greatest game but I take three points. Was very impressed with Lo Celso. Come On You Bournemouth! Progress between the games The canopy - made of clearest resin This is the first P&J kit that includes masks, that are cut from very thin rice paper. Second coat of primer. Need to get rid of a step between the fuselage and the canopy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Well, could not quite complete it in one day. With this speed there is not enough time for the paint to properly cure So I'm not a ninja 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Today is a working day so I work. Fortunately I can work from home, so I visit my shed during short break to put a touch or two. Filled the patches with Mr. Surfacer 500 so level edges While the patches dry tried on the prop and wheels Prop still needs a layer of black When the patches dried very carefully sanded and repainted. How smart was I not to throw away the masks! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Sharp looking model Alexey, and impeccable repair work to the paint! The repairs are invisible, perfectly matched. Really looking forward to seeing this finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 All the parts are in place Very delicate weathering DONE!!! I will do gallery pics tomorrow with natural lighting. I call small planes 'fleas' for their size, so this is my fleabag with the new joiner Overall - 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
