Marklo Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Personally I blame @Enzo the Magnificent for this…. With almost a month left there’s time for one more little one. Plus it was only a tenner… I’d love to build the top one but making an A3 out of an A6 is actually quite tricky. But I’ve also wanted to build TD SI for a long time. If you look carefully you can see a dotted line which is the profile of the experimental BT-1400 bomb which is the one I’m going to go for… Edited March 24, 2023 by Marklo 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Sprues, a bit crude but tbh I prefer them to the Airfix kit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I've seen the Mister Craft kits in my local Hobbycraft and I've often wondered what they were like. I'll be intrested to see what you make of building this one. Another interesting choice too James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve built a few so far, they’re ok I think they’re reboxing of frog/novo/revel/etc kits from the seventies with new decal sheets. I like them as they’re cheap and generally the right shape ( except for the wingtips on this one ) so I don’t mind doing a bit of extreme work to squeeze a decent model out of them. Progress. Mostly assembled and filled. I had to reshape the wing tips as they were all wrong but otherwise not too bad. It went together much more easily than my other A-6!!!!

They are reboxes of various manufacturers' kits. The Mistercraft Mirage III/V is a rebox of the Heller kit with a nice decal sheet. The Hurricane is also the Heller kit. But you have to be careful. The Mistercraft Draken is the 1957-vintage Revell kit. It's best to check on Scalemates to see what you are getting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sheet is nice, but, unfortunately, closer to 1/100th in scale and thus not particularly useful for the included Mirage. Ask me how I know.

Marklo Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 My decal film arrived in the post this morning so we’re back on track 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Sized printed and varnished. I’ll use the ones on the right I think. Managed to get a coat of primer on, so preshade and 76 tomorrow hopefully . Edited April 13, 2023 by Marklo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Preshade on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) And the 76. Looks a bit grainy in the photos but not irl. But that’s the last of my Hataka 76 I have a bottle of AK but it’s the green late war variety. Anyway something think about in the future.

Marklo Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) 75 more Hataka. 74 tomorrow… I’m just thinking it is entirely possible I might finish it tomorrow. Hmm second camo colour, decals, gun barrels, gear doors, u/c, prop, spinner, fit the bomb ( it is carved, filled and just needs tail fins and paint)and the rf line, hmmm….

Marklo Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 74 done. Decals and assembly next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Very much a three steps forward two steps backwards sort of day, or possibly the opposite of that but, with a folded fin and an extended tail wheel I think I’m finished…. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
