Mystery Wart!
Posted by spiralcity on Saturday, February 13, 2016 3:58 PM

OK, guess who?

According to the direction, this kit is complete and I just need to add the stickers...lol! Thats right, "STICKERS", not even decals.

I do plan on making it presentable, but I got a kick out of the instruction sheet. This is all this kit needs and she's done! What a BEAUT!

Any idea what kit this is?

Thats it fermis. A 1/72 Snap-Tite my wife gave to me about 5 years ago as a silly Easter gift. I just took 10 miutes and snapped the little sucker together. I will clean this little beauty up...lol. I will get the seams shut and toss a bit of paint on her.

I was wondering: how hard is it to make a snap kit look good? I'm wondering because the Academy T50 south korean trainer in 1/72 is a snap kit (gasp) with stickers! (gasp).

Chasing the ultimate build.

Well, you can make them look much nicer than the snap together look. You really dont want to toss money into a kit like this. I'm going to seal and clean up the seams, paint the pilot and put the dreadful sticker on the panel, that will be the only sticker I use. I may toss 8.00 into decals and a few bucks into paint. It will look good enough for my shelf but it definetly wont win any prizes.

Depending on the color scheme (whether you need any white in the decals) you might scan the sticker sheet on your computer and print out inkjet decals.
