Paul Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 I'm planning to do this Fujimi A-6E in colourful VA-85 markings Like this one: So far I've made a start on the cockpit I've heard mixed reveiws about this kit, but it seems good so far.
Paul Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 A bit more progress. It's quite a fiddly kit, but enjoyable as its a different shape from the norm. Better get a move on though!
Graham77 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Looking good so far looks like a good little kit. I'm sure you'll have it finished with time to spare, at least that is what I keep telling myself for my build. Cheers Graham
Paul Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys Some more progress Its coming on now, some more sanding and filling to do around the intakes but otherwise no great dramas.
Paul Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Masked up and ready for painting Once the paint was applied and the masking came off, a disaster became apparent I had cunningly left a bit of Jammydog 1mm tape inside the canopy :doh: Its a shame because otherwise, its looking quite good What should I do? Live with it, or try to remove the canopy (stuck on with Gator Grip)? Help!
AndrewE Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 :shithappens: If it were me I would remove the canopy and make good. I could never live with the tape, and hopefully you will be able to repair any damage when removing the canopy. The build may take a little longer but it will be worth it. The rest of it looks good!
