Thought I would attempt a work in progress on my latest project hoping it will light a fire under my butt to actually complete something. This may take a while, I don't build quite as fast as Toshi and LawDog but I'll try to keep it moving along. I won't even hide my mistakes..........and I make plenty.
Here is the kit I'll be working with.
So far for the price of this kit I have been VERY impressed with the detail and fit.
Here's a view of my new work space. I aquired a old computer desk that is working out very well in the corner of a spare bedroom.
Getting some of the sub assemblies ready for paint.
I primed the cockpit pieces black, painted MM RLM 66 enamel, brush painted details and dry brushed for some wear. I was going to do a wash but most of this will be invisible once buttoned up.
The kit is well engineered and nicely detailed. Building the wheel weels.
Got the cockpit installed and the fuselage halfs went together very well. Needing three hands to get everything together I broke off one of the canopy hinges which was lost to the carpet monster so I guess a closed canopy it is.
So far the only filler I have needed was between the upper wing halves, a dab at the front of the cowling and where the vertical stabilizer is split.
Will hope to make some additions soon. Thanks for looking
Mike
