Lightningboy2000 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Completed earlier this year. A nice quick build this one despite a high parts list for its size. Purchased a couple of Simple sets from Special Hobby at Telford & used individual markings & stencils from a Modeldecal sheet & Model Art sheet for the tail plane flourescent markings. Didn't have any aftermarket parts for the cockpit which is highly visible, but I always cut strips from swan & Morton blade packets for seat straps so that adds some focus. Primed & sprayed with Mig One Shot & used their Mig metals. Some of the parts are minute! The wing tip lights were clear parts comparable to large grains of sand & inevitably one of them pinged across the room, so I just used accelerated thick CA for them. Amazing how CA conforms to compound curves! Thanks for looking! Martin 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Very nice, Martin. I'm really pleased to see this. I have one of these in the queue plus a Max Decals set for it. Soon, I hope! Any niggles with it? Martin @Wez should love this Edited April 20, 2020 by RidgeRunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhizhou Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Nice to see a Magister on this site. Even better when it is a very nice example such as this one. Nice finish with the NMF and Dayglo. Well done Martin and thanks for sharing it with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin @Wez should love this Hi Martin, the only niggle was that the centre canopy section was moulded in two separate parts. That & the rear seat periscope (in two miniscule parts) goes through the centre. Everything is over engineered for such a small kit, which is no bad thing! I also purchased the old Airfix kit with the Irish decals just for the side stencils, so I can build a slightly simpler kit! Max decals? Would be interested to know what's on that sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudge Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 That's very nice. I have the Zephyr, but really should get a couple of these to replace (or add to) my Heller kits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Martin, It is Sheet 7205 and has German, Togo, Gabon (my subject build), Morocco, Bangladesh, Lebanon, Ireland (3 variants) and Finland (5 variants). It looks nicely printed.

Some very colourful birds on there plus I've discovered a new country! I always thought Katanga was a James Bond villain! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Ah, Martin, that’s the follow on and expanded sheet. It has Senegalese on there :). I’d love to build one of those Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
