PlaStix Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Porsche Diesel Junior 108 Tractor Revell 1:24 Snap Kit Fantastic little kit. And, unusually for me, I used one can of Humbrol Acrylic Gloss Red paint! - I only had the one can but luckily it was enough for this little kit. I also used some rattlecan matt black. It is a snap kit which could be assembled without paint or glue but I used both.

Mrs PlaStix Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) GWH F-35A Snap Kit USAF in flight Originally bought in case of an 'under a tenner' build... it's turned out to be a fun introduction to building aircraft. Gave me a break from building Dinosaurs and a chance to 'brush up' a few skills. The build thread can be found here: Thanks to PlaStix (Mr P.) for the photos: Edited May 25, 2020 by Mrs PlaStix 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dean Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Started: Monday 25/05/2020 06:00 Finished: Monday 25/05/2020 13:52 Total build time: 7 hours 52 minutes (less 15 minutes for a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee). In summary, I thought a kit with only 36 parts, one coat of blue paint (two coats for the white) and a mist of satin varnish would be easy to do in 8 hours. It was really full on though, trying to get the small details right (the aluminium wheels and black tyres were constantly touched up), and trying to make a really good job of it. The decals behaved superbly, although the individual decals aren't numbered and there are no placement instructions as to which green stripe goes on which wing, which way up the green fuselage band goes on etc. It was trial and error until I worked them out. The time went by very quickly, which I suppose it does if your concentrating hard on something for so long. I'm glad I didn't chose anything more complex. By starting at 06:00 on the last day only gave me 18 hours, not 24. I'll start on the first day next time! The blue is matt Oxford Blue (Humbrol 104), sprayed with a satin varnish, which is much darker in real life than it looks in the pictures. I'll experiment with my crap camera to see if I can correct it later. I'm off for a snooze in the sunshine. Mike 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushpainted with Humbrol enamels 11, 29, 30 and 67 only. In my opinion a craftfully engineered and tooled magnificent minikit! Thanks to Enzo yet again for running the circus for us👍.
