vppelt68 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 That's one sweet kit, Lanmi, one of those shake-the-box Tamiyas! You for sure didn't pay any Eduard-extra for that minimask- set 🙂. V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanmi Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 😀Ha ha, yes Eduard didn't see a penny from me this time. But don't have such a good experience with the Montex. To avoid lift on the curved edges I will have to trace it an cut out from the Tamiya tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanmi Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Here I present the current progress on this nice Tamiya kit. Assembling mostly goes without problems, I first sprayed the interior with black mr.surfacer 1500 and then sprayed the interior green. I added few hoses made from acupuncture needle. For the first time, I experimented with transparent decal paper for internal canopy frames. These are frames that are only internal and will be seen trough the glass. Firstly i sprayed interior color followed with gloss varnish. Then I cut it into strips and positioned it inside canopy. Finally I joined the tail surfaces and the wings. Next I will polish and mask the canopy, add nacelles and sand joints to prepare for primer. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanmi Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 There's been quite a progress in the recent weeks. Assembly of fuselage and wings went quite okay. Only detail needed to be addressed was engine nacelle faring which needed few drops of sprue goo on the upper side, as well as nose canopy which needed some physical pressure to adhere. When I finished assembly I shot Gunze Mr. Black Primer and started to marble the surface spaying thin layers of Gunze Off white color in random pattern: This was a final result of marbling effect, You can see in the background Mossie's colleague from the day shift, a Revell's Fort, which received same treatment. 😀 Further back there on the computer screen you can see ongoing our modeler's club online workshop where several of us gather and work on our kits online. We started it during COVID lockdowns. Next came the Gunze C series main camouflage colors (C361, C362 and C363). I cut camouflage pattern from a transparent paper which I've drown over a printed plan freehand. I used small nibs of Blu-tack to position it. Hope I will update you soon with decals and weathering process! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanmi Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 It has been quite straightforward build to the end. Decals went fine and were easily conformed to the surface with Gunze's Mark Setter and Softer. Then, I sprayed it with Gunze matt coat, which I weathered with artist's oils and pigments. Masks removed: I will put couple more pictures on finished models gallery. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
