don f Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Keeping up the momentum, this project finally is complete after many years of neglect. The model needed silver paint touch-up, repairs for broken horizontal stabilizers and other broken parts, removal of the adhesive residue from the canopy and many small kit parts added. And of course, all of this after the decals had been applied years ago. This OOB model will look fine lurking in the back of the display case. This model was begun was an easy, quick project. Soon as construction began, I did not like the engine cowl flaps and keel. Scrap kit with original keel. So, I could not help myself. Long ago, the model went in for surgery to fix the keel and the cowl flaps. After recovery, the kit was set aside and resided in a box for many years. Apologies for the blurry image below. Back to project #2, the Hellcat. Then on to abandoned project #4, a 1/72 Me-109G-10, the Hawkeye Designs resin kit. Don 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Lovely build with rather unusual markings and nose art (not familiar to me at any rate). A resurrected project is a good thing. Edited August 24, 2021 by kapam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I like this idea of completing those old hanging projects. I keep saying I’ll complete the ones I own before getting any more kits but there’s always half a dozen boxes waiting for attention! I am weak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Currently working on one of these - although I plan to finish it in RAF markings. Your's looks absolutely fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djos Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Always nice to see project lost in time - finished. Especially looking so good at the end. Great work Regards Djordje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don f Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Thanks to all for the compliments. So nice to have this project done and put away. I'm easily distracted. A simple task like masking and painting a canopy or fixing self-induced messes can cause me to put aside a model. So easy just to move on to another project and repeat the process. The red circles on the model are probably locations of damage from AAA. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job fixing up the Revell Thunderbolt, she looks splendid after the orthodonture and belly tuck. Your modelling habits sound like mine, sometimes things have to marinate for a while. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
