It's probably the closest I'll ever get to joining the Mile High Club.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 haha yeah when I saw my wife's reaction to an airliner bathroom the first time we flew together, I knew I was never joining that club either! This kit is cool - I remember this was among the first I bought when I got back into models in 07 after at least 10-15 years ...picked it up in Hong Kong where we had the world's smallest apartment so I figured I should buy a really small model. I still have it on my display shelf - looking forward to seeing yours! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Hi All Thought it was time this got a kick off . Fuselage together with a little extra weight because the supplied plastic balast didn't seem to be enough . The only fit issue being caused by said ballast . The plan (I know I shouldn't do that ) is to paint the cheatlines and other blue areas as decals don't look right and fill the windows with cryatal clear . Time will tell.

Lex77 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Nice choice. Build this one a couple of years ago as a T-43 of the USAF, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I found it impossible to release my vintage A300 decals from their backing sheet, so maybe give yours a try (say one of the stand labels), before committing to a scheme. Fingers crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandboof Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Apologies one and all for my absence . Life got in the way . Normal service or lack ther of shall resume Martin H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Hi All Normal lack of service update . Primed and ready for the first colour coats . White first then mask off . Fit is great very little filler required around the wing root. The stabilisers will stay off until the decaling or panting is done . I havn't decided which way to go yet . Anyhow here is a pic Thanks for dropping by Martin H 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 Hi All Normal slack service is back . I now have a white top on this . Masking to come later when properly dry and metalic finish to follow . Wheels and u/c legs have been painted ready to go . Still hoping to slide this in on time . Thanks for dropping by Martin H 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandboof Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 Hi All This one I'm afraid is now a crash and burn . First set of decals failed . Quick livery change only to have the second set follow suit . I am going to walk away from this now , aplogies for yet aanother fail . Thanks to our illustrious hosts for their efforts Martin H 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
