I broke the joystick on the first one of these I built and have taken them off the sprue with a razor saw since. Didn't stop me breaking the joystick on this one when I pulled it off of the blue tack it was stuck in for painting. Some CA and the position means the break is hidden.

AliGauld Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 I got some colour on these bits. Paints used were Colourcoats Zinc Chromate Green, RLM 76 and Alclad Duraluminium. The RLM 76 is for the inside of the engine cone just now the rest will be smoothed out during the build. Thanks for looking Cheers, Alistair 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
