Spookytooth Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Looks like she is coming together quite nicely albeit with a fight. Control columns, a pain at times, it has happened to me a few times. I did the same as you but used brass rod with a bit of brass tube lightly crimped in place to replicate the handle. Stay safe mate.

AliGauld Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 The cockpit wash duly given a light was, a dry brush and fitted to the fuselage. Top part of fuselage fitted , glued and clamped. Methinks some filler and sanding will be required. Now you see it. Now you don't. And finally I glued the wings together and added the PE. That'll be it for tonight. I'm off on the Night Shift again. More tomorrow? Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Wow! With detail painting like that, I don’t think anyone’s going to notice the extra wingspan. Looks super. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Not much to report. I masked and fitted the canopy, remembering to replace the Ejector Seat Firing Loop that I'd knocked off. Some Tamiya Nato Black sprayed on to the canopy and used to check the seams. The canopy need a wee blend and there's still seam work to be done. On with the Mr. Surfacer. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Looks like you’re making a splendid start. I bought this kit on the same day I was offered the 1/32 Matchbox one that I built instead. Looking forward to seeing it come together. The engine looked great, are you making that rear panel removable? I’ll tag along if I may.

The rear panel will be and is now glued down. The fit wasn't the best. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
