ryoga Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That's the problem with scratch builders ... you will always find some kind of imperfections but to others, she's beautiful. She's really coming along nicely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Superb Chris... looking fantastic. I find car body filler really useful for big jobs such as this. If you put a thin skin over the top it will be ready for sanding in a matter of minutes and it sands beautifully. May well be worth a shot. Having said that, it looks fine in the photo's! I really can't wait to see this finished, you're doing a fine job on this one mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks Tom, this is alot harder than my 777-300er I done. And is that p38 filler??? Yes P38 - I use it for all large areas that need filling. Use it sparingly though - it gets very hot if you put it on too thick!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eren Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) How do you keep churning these beasts out Mr A380? I am only on my 3rd one ever and even that took me about 3 years to be brave enough to do it! It's all sprues, sprues, sprues! Too many of 'em! Anyway, looking good so far, can't wait to see it all done. Eren Edited July 22, 2011 by Eren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
