Marklo Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Office painted and nose assembled. It’s a pretty well engineered kit and it is going together fairly easily. I am a little nervous about some of the fuselage joints though. Edited November 11, 2022 by Marklo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Needed a surprising amount of filler at the fuselage Joint. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Joints finally sorted. Weight added and nose attached. Just need to paint and fit the seats and it’s almost ready for primer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Primer on. Difficult to get started, funnily I’ve had issues with priming revell kits before, the primer beads and doesn’t wet out the plastic, they’re either using a release agent or not, or plastic mix that’s different to other kit manufacturers. I ended up having to spray a thin spatter (!!!) coat on panel by panel then flash it off with my heat gun, once the whole thing was covered the primer went on on top of the dry coat perfectly well. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 Canopy fitted and more decals added. I’m definitely warming to the look. Decal hell, did I say lots of micro sol and set… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
