zebra Posted July 23, 2022 Author Posted July 23, 2022 Final bits done: Ant-collision and nav lights, aerials and the RM30 winch and target. As with other Amodel detail parts, these aren't great, and if I was to do this again I'd make my own RM30 - I've done it before, for a 1/48 Skyhawk. Calling this finished. More photos in the gallery shortly. cheers Julian 5
trickyrich Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Super cool, she looks amazing in that scheme, and beautifully finished as well. It looked to be a reasonably nice build apart from a couple of issues. I haven't built an A Model/Sova-M model before, it did look like your typical short run model. A really lovely and colourful addition to the gallery. I'm really glade you bought it along. I hope you enjoyed the build as it was a pleasure to have you along as usual. 1

Cracking scheme isn't it. Typical short-run model sums it up pretty well - the airframe goes together quite well, and the surface detail is nice, but the smaller parts are all a bit thick and lacking in detail. I'd better crack on and get the Convair and the YS-11 finished before the GB ends, then going to focus on Canadian builds for a while.
Whirly Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Congrats for the finished model, it's really gorgeous. I have the same kit in my stash and I would start it today if it wasn't for the other dozens of half built kits I have here and there.. 😘 May I ask you which yellow paint you used? It seems really spot on for the JASDF livery! 1
