Grandboof Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hi All The result of stash diving this T-6 . Marking yet to be chosen as the kit ones are suspect. Maybe a finisher to redeem 2020's shocker. Anyhow here it is . All parts accounted for Thanks for looking Martin H 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Nice one Martin, welcome to the GB, I've always liked this kit. That yellow plastic is a fair match for the yellow used by the French in Algeria but it's a bit of a strain on the eyes! Originally kit 079 from 1978, good luck with it!

Good luck Cheers Pat Makes it harder for the carpet monster . Anyhow Merry Christmas all . Just a small start. Not as much time available as planned . Border closure equals shrunken break shoud have a few days off so time will tell Some bits primed ready for some interior greening . I still haven't decided on markings but am leaning towards one from across the ditch . More soon callouts willing Thanks for looking Martin H 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi All Just a quick update . Spray gun played sort of nice . All bits that need to be interior green are . Detail will be basic just a tickle with a hairy stick here and there . Tape seat belts will be gently prodded into place as the seat legs don't look all the strong . The exhaust ring has shattered flying in all directions most never to be seen again. The exhaust stub has been salvaged and is in place . Thanks for dropping by Apologies for the pic better ones next time Martin H 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandboof Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hi All Thanks Steve I had it all downs to my bad handling . Pretty sure we have the same boxing . Marking will be for an NZ airframe I have a couple of options one silver with yellow trainer bands ( Late fifties I think) and standard RAF style roundels but will need to come up with a CFS badge for the fin . The other involves that dayglo orange colour with or without the red checkers . More net trolling coming up . The interior has been detailed as much as needed and seat belts fitted without breaking anything . The fuselage has been joined up without any major issues . More soon Martin H 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hi All First of all apologies for the lack of updates . A whole month . Any way the basic airframe is done but still yellow but not for long . The chosen aircraft is NZ1056 when it was an FAC aircraft with 19 Squadron RNZAF. Some interesting aerials to be attached . Plenty of sanding and filling to come . Thanks for looking Martin H 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandboof Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi All Not much of an update I'm afraid . Just fill sand repeat and a little surgery to remove the under wing hard points and radio aerial . The unwanted plastic has been removed since the pics were taken Martin H 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
