haneto 1,204 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 First finished work in Rat Year, during past several weeks at home because of the coronusvirus which prohibited going out and extension of Lunar New Year holidays in China. In Chinese culture, red means celebration so I hope the special moment could be settled down ASAP. Kit: Airifx: front fuselage+windshield+canopy, Italeri: other parts.

John B 111 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Wow! The in-progress pictures are very instructive and the side-by-side images comparing the parts neatly illustrates the shape differences between the 2 kits. The work to splice the parts is very clean. Equally commendable is the finish. Glossy schemes can be deceptively difficult to pull off. Beautiful result! Link to post Share on other sites
