The seat cushions were painted in black and the seats were fitted into the cockpit: The belts will be added later. I also installed the engines and closed the fuselage halves, finally: The details were painted with a hairy stick and washed in a watercolour style: Next will be moderate sanding and very light rescribing. Thanks for looking! 😜 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Looking very precise. 👌 I keep looking at that seam on my one. It’s a real pain to get rid of. Keeps coming back like a bad smell. I used sprue goo and now a spot of filler. Fingers crossed for you, looks like you’re going to get it sorted. 👏👏👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subassembly 8-a has a very tight fit and need to be trimmed (because it can lose its fit after priming) alongside with its placement inside the fuselage. The TET isn’t the solution here and the best way is to use the Mr.CEMENT S because of its strong melting characteristics. 4 hours ago, The Spadgent said: Fingers crossed for you, looks like you’re going to get it sorted. 👏👏👏 Yes, the 36 hours of fixation do the trick. 👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I keep having to remind myself that all this detail is 1/72 scale! Looking forward to seeing how the early canopy looks on it. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got caught up; the detailing is terrific and I continue to be impressed with Flory wash. I guess its time for me to try it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolay Polyakov Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hello, Britmodellers! 👋 Not so much progress on the Hind this busy week... The seat belts were glued and touched with the Flory Wash, then the canopy was placed: The forward fuselage part fits good, but the joint line still needs to be trimmed a bit: An undercarriage wells were installed and all the main seams on fuselage already filled and sanded: Thanks for watching! 😸 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 It's nice that it has those big windows to see all that beautiful cockpit work! With the canopy on, it's really starting to look serious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Looking good with the canopy in place. I prefer the A model too with the big ‘ greenhouse ‘. Stay safe. John 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you guys, the canopy looks awesome and the fit was great. 👍 I started from its forward portion and then glued the top side. On 23/02/2021 at 00:36, The Spadgent said: you’re making this look easy. 👌👏👏👏 Actually, it wasn’t so easy: the joint between cockpit and the cabin floors was really tight, so I ended up with some trimming to make a fit of the forward fuselage section as good as possible. It’s not so perfect, but I’m happy with it. Now it’s time for adding small bits and some undercarriage works... Stay safe! 🐈 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
