_alfisti_ Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Hi guys. I just finished my latest modell, number six for this year. It´s the very nice molded Gnat kit from Special Hobby in 1/72 scale. Built without any problems except the camera lenses which didn't fit properly. I used Micro Kristal Klear instead of them. Finland used the Gnat from 1958 to 1972, eleven F.1 and two FR.1 were flown by HävLLv 11 and HävLLv 21.

Jo NZ Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Lovely. Just a suggestion - put a figure with it. No-one believes how small they are... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Very nice build and display. Until I saw your model, I didn't know there was a reconnaissance Gnat, so I learned something! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc72 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Looks great! The bull from the squadron's coat of arms on the tarmac is a nice touch. Is it a home-made decal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_C Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Very nice Gnat. Clean and delicate work! Never realised there was an FR version. 12 hours ago, Jo NZ said: Lovely.

And that is T.1 which is bigger than a fighter version! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Very nice indeed. I believe they were delivered in a glossy finish, was this replaced with a Matt finish later on? Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_alfisti_ Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi guys. Thanks for your nice words. 4 hours ago, Britman said: Very nice indeed. I believe they were delivered in a glossy finish, was this replaced with a Matt finish later on? Keith You could be right, it´s hard to tell on the b&w pictures. Some pics of preserved Gnats show some semi gloss finish. Maybe I give it another coating with a mix of gloss and semi gloss. 21 hours ago, Doc72 said: Looks great!

Good idea, have to look for a mechanic or pilot in my stash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
