This is my latest build and I must say it was fun! The kit has very nice details, hollow ends on the gun barrels and exhaustpipes, the pilot is very detailed!! It was a rather easy build with only a few "problems".....the join of the wings were a nightmare thanks to the "teeth" ( see pic) in the wing and cockpit floor, they should fall in oneother and the wing root had little hooks that needs to be hooked in the fuselage side. Decals respond very very fast to the Micro sol and I wrecked the cockpit decal and tail-code......
I made seatbelts of Evergreen strips.
Landinggear, brakelines are made of Evergreen rods, I usually use electric wire but then I have to use plastic strips to keep them in place, the Evergreen can be glued to the struts but they're difficult to get into the proper shape.
The engine will not be seen so I did make any ignition wires on it.....
The pilot, I painted it but didn't use it in the end.
Preshade;
Then I used the decals for the other paint scheme.....the one with the lightningbolts, which I didn't like, but I did not have any choice...... which I sanded off the day after and resprayed the tail and fuselage.
Followed by a clearcoat , chips, stains etc.........( I used tailcode numbers of a 1:48 J1N1 Gekko)
I dilled holes in the navigationlights and filled it with red and green clear paint.
DONE!
Hope you'll like it!
Best regards
