Mottlemaster Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Zombie -Manga Pilots I think im pleased with how they came out as long as they dont come and eat me .

Mottlemaster Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Chapter two......Feeling Deflated All was seeming to be gooing well ,if at a snails pace when gravity suddenly poped its head up and anounced that Airfix had provided weighed tyres . All well and good for an aircraft on the ground or an aircraft in flight with its undercarriage up but no use to one with its undercarge down but the aircraft in the air . I shall be writing to Airfix HQ to register a complaint about their glairing ommision . First thoughts were to buy some after market resin ones . cheapest ones i could find added up to around £10 for two pairs . this was just about the same price as the heavy discounted kits . Seems daft to double the price of the build with just a few wheels . I have spent a bit of time comming up with a solution to de weight the tyres . Ie take out the bulge and make them round. I sanded off the bulge ,glued on a strip of plastic card ,sanded back the card and then rescribed the tred. Just under half way . The money saved has alowed me to order 4 sets of Propblurs from the US . 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Nice alteration on the weighted tyres, good that it saved you enough money for some prop blurs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
