Hewy Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I've been a bit distracted of late, but hopfully i shall get a bit more modelling time for multiple builds if i keep things simple, and this gb fits the bill , I'll be building airfix's 72nd scale gnat t.1 in its yellowjacks boxing ,i had a large choice for this gb as i get cheapo stocking fillers at cristmas and birthdays from family members, so there maybe more to come ,i aim to start it in the next day or so, I'm looking forward to seeing how glossy i can get it, a pic of the box Cheers all Glynn 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 The great thing about under a tenner kits is that modern cheapos often build up quickly, as is the case here with the little gnat, A quick pic of the plastic The cockpit has had a blow over in black,and the blob,sorry pilot, has been er,well i had a try, painted the wings went on no problem at all, and the canopy fits like a glove, i like it, nice kit this , it'll be wheels up ,in flight with an acrillic rod poked up its pipe Primed and ready for its top coat, only @Hockeyboy76 can tell if its pink enough Mrs hewy reckons i ought to leave it pink ,and glue a cork on its tail pipe and use it as a bottle stopper for her prosecco Shake the bottle and There she goes, 🤭 Cheers all 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Probably the best coverage of yellow ever with the pink primer, you can see why H bangs on at us about it , the yellow has gone down beautifully, i used gloss mr hobby and laquer thinners, I've made the base and I'm gonna decal it later , a quick pic 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyOD Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I think it looked mighty fine in au naturel pink. Why has there never been a pink aerobatics team? 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Another excellent result Glynn, that yellow looks fantastic. The decals look like they have settled down very nicely. And it looks like it has the approval of the photo bombing Gnome in the last picture. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
