Lanmi Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 Here are first progress pictures: I started at 21,30 CET I added few details made of styrene rods on cockpit walls. Wings and fuselage joined. Not very happy with the joint, I used Vallejo water based putty. After 2h15'. Need to sand down fuselage joints, made seatbelts from tamiya tape, I dipped canopy in Gauzy glass coat agent. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanmi Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 3.00AM finished sanding fuselage and prepared all parts for painting, canopy half masked. I have to call it a day. See you tomorrow. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Easy build but complex painting. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanmi Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 I continued today around 14,00. Firstly, finished masking canopy and gluing it to the fuselage. Then I sprayed interior green over canopy, and thin cote of white primer. I opted for white primer so I can easily paint white and yellow color. Regarding the background music, mainly random youtube list. Next step, paints in the following order: white, silver, dark iron, yellow, gray, dark green, brown spots on the end 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanmi Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 The masks have fallen! It's not perfect, but I'm satisfied. As I assumed the gray was not dry enough so there are traces of the masking tape, I hope it will disappear when I put gloss cote. I finish today's sprint at 2AM. We don't have a bank holiday here tomorrow so after work I expect that I will be able to apply the decals and warnish. From weathering I plan only pigments and oil wash. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanmi Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 I owe you information about the total amount of work on the model. Together with breaks, meals, all working sessions were about 20 hours spread over three days. This time it was much more stressful than on the previous blitzbuild because the camouflage is quite complex and did not give room for the colors to dry well between the layers, so I skipped to do weathering and marbling. The model itself is simplified and it is missing, for example, the entire intake under engine cowling, the inside of the landing gear does not exist. I will scratch a non-existent pitot tube. Thank you all for following and nice comments. Until the next opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
