Antoine Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi there, First I wish you all a happy new year! This build was started around mid december, just for me to see if I could still tackle kits in 1/72 scale. Here we go! This is a nice little kit first released in 2014, but this repop is from 2018. The sprues looks fine and parts are nicely detailed. Wonder if this can still be called short run... No surprise, I've started with the pit, but didn't waisted too much time, as in the end there will be nearly nothing left to be seen. I'd painted it black (!), did a quick drybrush, crushed the decal panel, and tried some sort of micropainting... and quickly closed the fuselage! Believe me, you've missed nothing! The only touchy part was the joint between the half fuselages, and I took care of it with a lenght of stretched sprues instead of putty, achieving a more cleaner look. At least I think! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Then comes the wings. You've to take care from here if you want the whole wings/stab assembly to look straight. I've worked one wing at a time, with sufficient time in between to let the glue dry completely. Both topside joints were nice, but I was left with a gap on the underside. Less than 1mm, but really obvious due to the very small size of th kit. Again, I corrected it with stretched sprue and extra thin glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 And here's were I am today. Still have to correct the joint between the boom and the wing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
