JTninja Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) First Blitzbuild, so bringing in a bit of a challenge. I've been building a few Ukrainian aircraft lately, so why not add another. It appears pretty simple yet detailed, and the decals will make the camo pattern lay down much quicker than paint. I'll probably start working on it Saturday night.

Johnson Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Nice. Looks like a lot of parts (for 1/144). Should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTninja Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Busy weekend so far. Spent yesterday in Portland shooting a private Indycar test for next weeks Grand Prix. However, this meant I got home late, and sunburnt, so I've spent much of today resting and recovering. But now we start after 7pm on Saturday! So far much of the time has been spent cleaning up the parts of flash, of which there is plenty. Started with some of the bigger pieces, and have gone with the wings tucked in. The exhaust exit fit wasn't perfect, but due to the nature of this build, I probably wont get a lot of time to fix it. Also working on the cockpit. For some reason, I have tiny joysticks to attach haha. Now to make dinner for my dad and get him ready for bed, so we'll take a pause 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTninja Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Got a little bit of time while some glue dries, so heres todays update so far Filled the major seams in the rear Laid down the cockpit decals Upper and lower cockpit mated, with the seams filled, and nose cone glued. Each rear landing gear is 4 separate pieces, with no indication on how to assemble. I decided to build it in place as I went Testing some glue for hazing. Need to attach the canopy, tape the glass, and attach to fuselage. I'll get some food for now 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTninja Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 I've got 2 hours to go until midnight, so close. Just need to finish the decals, get on the tires, and fix the stupid masking I did on the canopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
