Hello Gents,

I think to myself, "If I didn't finish this kit right now, it'll go back in the closet for month"

So I took myself by the hand... Aaand....

Start masking...

As I was working on a Sabre... Let's push the other one a bit.....

Hello Gents,

Just a check to see if my fixing is valid....

IMG_20241006_224536

Rule1 : Avoid changing your mind when you already started a kit....

Hello Gents,

I still study the FJ family...

And, I saaay, It is kind from HB to issue unusual kits....

One fuselage didn't fit all alas...

Ventral airbrakes are on FJ-4B only.....

IMG_20241022_224009

Erase and sanding will be the word for this evening session.....

Sincerely.

Hello Friends !!

Here we are....

Masking has started....

IMG_20241103_233653

Aaaaand the first of two has landed at CC's castle....

I know... I know....

IMG_20241103_201834

Now , spend a bit of time to check if the features of the FJ-3 are represented....

And use this one to make a FJ-3 from the old Esci kit....

At least, I have a 3D template now....

Have a great modelling time Gents !!

Sincerely.

Nice masking work dear CC. 
What‘a this? More kits. 🫣 You’re unstoppable. 🤩

Definitely my Dear Spad !! Unstoppable !!

 

The old mojo is low these days... the waiting for the surgery is really boring....

I can't stop thinking about the sentence from "The edge of darkness"

I'm here waiting and meanwhile the nasty beast is growing up in me....

Well enough of my health now...

 

Just a show up of the next plastic surgery....

IMG_20241106_202632

On the left, the forward fuselage from the kinetic FJ-3, in front of it the Esci would be an FJ-3

Above is the HB FJ-4.... And the 3 mouths.....

it smell of silicon and resin... Didn't it ??

The FJ-4 mouth is a bit too narrow...

More surgery ahead....

 

Saturday I will have the FJ-2 in my hands and will look closely...

Especially at the wings....:worry::worry:

If both kits share the same wing.... 

Huh !! We'll see.....

Sincerely.

CC
