It is wise, though, to do some research for colors and in some places for details. Also there are a couple of ejection marks in awkward places. 3 hours ago, Toryu said: Your cockpit & co. looks phantastic! Thank you for the compliments. Much appreciated...

Courageous Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Great work on the cockpit. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Fabulous cockpit. I don’t do large scale for space and budget limitations and because I like to have a range of markings and colour schemes in my collection, but I really enjoy seeing this level of detail.

Golikell Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Thanks fellows. I generally prefer large scale models, exactly because the level of details that can be added /seen. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golikell Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Well , this took quite an unexpected turn. I botched up a paint job and tried to strip the paint with cleaner of the same manufacturer. This ate away the plastic 😮 Later I learned that the cleaner contains acetone 😬 I'll have to order new parts from Zoukei-Mura. Not sure if I manage to complete this project in time, therefore! 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't just happen to me then . Keep going - another month yet! Yeah. Although people tell me it is a great product, and it might be so, I never will use again. BTW it is ALCLAD. The shipping of the new parts takes 2 weeks, from Japan... Edited February 13, 2020 by Golikell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golikell Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 While waiting for the replacement parts to arrive from Japan, I managed to make some progression on the Pony... The bottomside of the wings. Gear and doors will not be added till after both the wings and the fuselage have been mated.... The top side of the wings: the left side will be left open as it is now, while the right side will be closed as it is now. Only the loading hatches will be added. The right side of the fuselage. Once again, this side will be closed up, but I cannot go further tille the replacement parts will be received. The left side of the fuselage... Ths side will also be left opened up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Today, I mated the fuselage to the wings. That wasn't as easy as I would have thought, since the outside shell makes it hard to get a positive connection. I actually had to do it twice, shaving off the connection pins. Looks ok to me now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Masking, masking and more masking... Yet, all this masking served one purpose only! Behold the Pony in it's base colours. While not 100% perfect, I am still rather satisfied.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 After a couple of months hard work, I can call this beautifull kit finished. Maybe somegroundworks will be added in the future, together with a pilot figure, but the plane is done. Allas, something went wrong, because of which the front part of the canopy has become claudy.Since there is nothing to be done about that, I have no choice as to leave it like this. I hope you like it nevertheles... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
