Liberator224J Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Not the neatest of work, I shall strive to be a better modeller someday. Had i taken more care to align and ( Check and See ) as often as possible the fit would actually have been with almost zero putty. however like I mentioned before " me not sharpest tool in shed " 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberator224J Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Test fit of the tail, hence the stand from Dynavector. Hmm Interesting. ( Ignore the background mess and the TP roll used for spilt paint on the floor. Before anyone is aghast at me using shreddable TP on a Model.) Note I chopped off the rear rod and filled up the hole. A- incorrectly place i.e too low, B- Unnecessary. Edited June 5, 2020 by Liberator224J 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberator224J Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Right, so heres my Scimitars tail glued up. A bit of primer on to see. Usually at this stage I would fly the plane around the house to the chagrin of my Cats and the " Why am I dating this Guy " look on the Missus. However couldnt do that with chopped up wings 😕 OOps wrong side of Cutting mat :() Not for display Side 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Excellent work going on with your Scimitar, it looks great and coming on fairly quickly. Dynavector kits fun to build and really do look the part when complete but you hardly see the Scimitar kit these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was to offer you scanns of my instructions for decal placement - but you build faster than I read 🙂 If you have left over decals from the powder blue version, I would be interest in purchasing them (decals are what is missing in my kit...). I look forward to the RFI. Rene Gareth And Caerbannog these are the decals i have left over. IIRC Caerbannog wanted the Powder blue and the Scimitar Logo version for Gareth? That way everyone is catered for. please correct me if im wrong. If thats settled then I can organise to give these to yall. Regards Nav 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
