Natter Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I'd normally think 'Phantom... meh'. I look at your Kurnass and think 'Phantom... ooooh, veeeeery nice'. To any but the highly trained eye it looks great. I'll leave counting rivets to those with nothing better to do than criticise, for regular pleasure seekers like me it looks fantastic. I'll bet it is seriously imposing in 1/32nd too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hi Alan. Β No mate my wings were the same so it wasn't anything you did wrong. I used some plastic sprue & liquid poly to effectively weld it all together as there was quite a bit of 'flex' in that area. We desperately need an all new 2022 standard tooled kit of the F-4 in 1/32 as the big Tamiya kit is now really showing its age and limitations. If Tamiya upscaled their 1/48 B (and any others planned) that would do me and we don't (really) need all the invisible stuff and 'features' like Z-M would do.

Everything perfect, especially the field of depth is superb. But it cost a lot of time and patience to make photographs with backdrop, but I think your models are very worth to give it a chance. And at least you will be rewarded with very special and unique pictures. If you need some backdrops, please let me know!

Fukuryu Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Very nice Kurnass! While not my scale, I can appreciate the enormous work you put into it, and I like the subject. In fact, I like it so much that when I come around to build one in 1/72 (I still have to procure the kit, so waaaaay into the future) I will do exactly the same one, 201's "616" since the asymmetric and varied load make for a very interesting subject, both visually and historically. Hope you don't mind me stealing your research... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 In the time youβve built this and I now see youβre doing a Blackbird, Iβve still not sprayed my Sea Fury although the paint has got closer to the bench from the airing cupboard. It does look bloody good in those colours and you donβt see many built. Very nice indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
