stevej60 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Evening folk's,where to begin! I thought it best to prime in white no problem as can be seen,then I realised what a pain the gray would be as soon as the first coat went on as the paint was thinned in the jar for spraying so down to the LMS for a fresh pot and even slightly thinned to prevent the "drag" Tamiya paints do on subsequent coats it's still a pain! anyway happy enough after the third coat but all to do again in the next few day's,if all goes to plan they should look great in their markings. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi Steve, brilliant builds! Amazing how smart the decals make them! I could not miss your construction line with Viggen, Tunan, etc... Where do you find all the cheap labour for this? Impressive! Cheers JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyGair Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Good grief, you've got a canny production line going on there Steve! Taking me all my time to do the Stuka! Always liked the A-7, I have a Fujimi one in the stash, was gonna maybe do it for this GB but have other plans. Davey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Morning folk's we're down to one now as the fixed wing one turned out a nightmare while fitting the bombs the outer wing came away which didn't repair too well but I thought I'd live with it just to get her finished,no sooner was it patched up than the inner pylon and u/c door came off while trying to handle the kit so very childishly it hit the bin! Anyway I'm persevering with this one and within a couple of hours of completion now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinpin Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I bought one of these at a show for a £1 then found the front canopy part No39 was missing... Any chance you could salvage this from the bin ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Very sorry to hear of the sad demise of your fixed wing build Steve but your folded wing bird is really looking fantastic and I'm looking forward to seeing her in the gallery.
