Spookytooth Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 " What do you do with a Foxbat?" " Play fox with it". I had to get that out of the way folks. Well my next build is the Foxbat by Revell, a birthday gift from a couple of years ago. It is the old ICM tooling boxed by Revell. Six runners in grey and one in clear. I hope to get her started soon, but I need to get some paint for her first. Simon. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 OK folks, I have made a start with some priming for now. (I should start with the cockpit but awaiting paint at the moment). The instructions called for Steel colour so XF 56 Metallic Grey took its place. Then one of numerous Greys. With a lighter one to contrast it. (It`s the nearest I can get to the colour pic of the built model shown on the front of the destructions.) That`s it for now, I hope to press on tomorrow.

Cheers, Alistair Cheers Alistair, I can only go so far until the paint arrives. And she is a size, 18 inches long by 12 wide but she only needs an ounce of lead to counterbalance her.

Spookytooth Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Well after a priming session I was able to paint up a few bits. Dark Iron on the pipes and burners. Silver on the burners and compressor blades. Put together. And fitted into parts of the tail pipes. Green nipples on the front compressors. And fitted. Coffee break.

Well after seeing my mum off on the train and doing some shopping I was able to set forth on the Foxbat. Paint arrived this morning so gave bits a spray , then after lunch started to play. Seat done. No seat belts sadly, they had them for sale with other P.E. for the office but you can`t see naff al once closed up. And some decals applied, which to honest were a pain. I still have to paint the throttle lever. The IP one is a horror and I would suggest cutting up into the various panels in hindsight. Also they made a boo boo with the IP that I had to sort out. A coat of satin varnish next then leave to dry overnight. Keep dry. Simon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did give them the "Micro set/sol treatment. Simon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
