Fifer54 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 That's lookin' good. You never said it was a white metal jobbie. Will be watching this one. . . In fact I'm watching so many in this GB, I may not have time for my own entry. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Hi After a an hour or two made some steady progress. The kit so far has been soldered together then a few (thick) coats of alclad primer/filler. then a top coat of desert pink!

ferny Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Right, I got a bit carried away and forgot to take some pics, mind you saying that there is not a lot to the kit any way! And I did not have to wait for any glue to dry as it was 99% soldered together. More photos in the gallery. All comments welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Respect is due to you Jon for tackling a white metal kit I'd tried one once and vowed 'never again'. Is the secret to solder? I tried to assemble mine using superglue and Araldite - got there eventually, but what a nightmare! Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks ClifF This is the first one I have soldered, and I dont think I will go back to glue of any sort, the bonus of solder is an instant strong joint, and if you get it wrong, just heat it up again!
