Grandboof Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Hi All With build number one underway I will kick this along Not many parts and cool decals . Plastic looks a bit like the old Airfix kit . Martin H 6
Col. Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 You've picked another lovely subject Martin It would come as no surprise to discover that is the Airfix kit as Mistercraft seem to rebox a lot of other manufacturers plastic. Some nice decal options there as a bonus.
trickyrich Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 yes welcome along with build #2 and a nice subject as well. Nice to see plenty a civie aircraft being built. Good luck with this build as well.
Grandboof Posted April 11, 2020 Author Posted April 11, 2020 Hi All I thought it was about time to move this one along a bit if it is going to make the Finnish . Fit so far ( what little there is ) is good . I am sure this is Airfix plastic because of the presence of the decal punching tool that they included in the Skyking range . The bulkheads and cabin windows are in place . The external window facings will be will with clear glue to hopefully yield a flush surface . Time will tell . Things should be closed up later tonight after some prowling the great WIPs in the GB . Best of luck all and keep well . Thanks for dropping by Martin H 6
reini Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Still a month left - I'm sure we will see the beautiful Finnair colors on this one
trickyrich Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 nice to see you haven't completely forgotten about her, but yes you still have plenty of time to finish her. She would look really nice in the gallery.......hint hint!
nimrod54 Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Keep going Martin, it would be nice to see another version in the gallery if you can manage to get her finished.

Hi All Firstly thanks for the comments Should be in gallery soon . All closed up ready for filling not much . The rear air stairs were a little troublesome but have bullied into place Martin H 4

Grandboof Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 Hi Folks Nothing very exciting in the way of progress Just sanding and filling . The cabin door needed a quick file at the bottom to fit flush. Wings together . Dry fitting shows a fairly good fit of the wing to fuselage joint . A little filling not much . Martin H 6

Grandboof Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 Hi All Firstly not sure about the quality of the finish Col but time will tell. First primer coat on . A couple of little touch up more primer to check then paint I do have a plan for masking the cheatline . More on that later Martin H 4
