reini Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Just built a Tamiya Thunderjet in Norwegian markings. Interested to see how the Heller one goes together. 1
PeterB Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 I built mine in USAF markings - seem to remember it went together pretty well. Good luck Steve. Pete 1
Rabbit Leader Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Great choice Steve. I know the recent rebox kit has decals for a Danish machine, so I'd be keen to see how yours comes along before I decide to buy yet another kit I don't need. Cheers and all the best.. Dave 1
stevej60 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 Hi Folk,s another e-bay cheapie arrived,kit in good nick and decals look fine. 9
Rabbit Leader Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Lots going on in that photo Steve, however the kit parts look quite nice from this distance. Will be keen to see this one come together. Cheers.. Dave 1
trickyrich Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 very nice, I built this one many many years ago and did her in the Norwegian. It's a great model. 1
stevej60 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Posted February 3, 2020 Evening folks,with the sabre at the primer stage it makes sense to bring this one up to the same level.I need to spray them outside as I'm using Humbrol rattle can primer and its blowing a gale outside forecast for a few days yet.started the cockpit painting and assembled and tidied up the wing and tanks after joining them up,looks to be a great fit on this dry-run 10
Col. Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Due credit to many of the kits from this era in that they went together really well. Pity this is all too often not the case with some of their modern replacements. 4

modelling minion Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Another great start Steve and another excellent choice of scheme, definitely one from Heller's best era. 1
trickyrich Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 gosh she's going together quickly, she's looking great.

Testament to how well these old kit's still stand up well Rich.Three coats of silver from a rattle can for the basic finish,anti glare panel done and first of a few coats of white on the tail as no decals supplied for the red/white/blue flashes.wheels/u/c just added and drying nicely. 8
modelling minion Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Excellent finish of the silver Steve, she looks great. 1
RidgeRunner Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Sorry, Steve, I haven't been paying attention :(. Very nice work Martin 1
reini Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Very nice! Not much to do anymore. About the tail, probably ends up looking better painted than with decal 1
Rabbit Leader Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 A typical Stevie J build going on here... blink and you’ll miss it! Now that is looking very lovely and you’re doing justice to these old kits and the new Owners of Heller’s products. Cheers.. Dave 1
Greg Law Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Dave you pinched my comment. We will have to call Steve flash. By the time you catch up with his builds he's on to the next great creation. Looking good as usual Steve. 1

Looks great Steve, but it's a shame that Mrs j60 has banned you from taking your stuff along. The Whitby Ghost Walk can be fun to do though, enjoy your weekend. 1
