Daywalker Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Off to a great start Mark, love seeing a Scooter in the works! Any chance you would be willing to sell the markings for the USMC red "54" jet on that decal sheet? Have been looking for markings for that jet for ages.

Paul hanks Paul i hope i can inspire u for building your scooter Mark You're turning into a machine for sure. Nice work on the Scooter. Can't wait to see her painted and decalled. Keep 'em coming Thanks Peter but most work whas alredy done in the past 2 years. I has cleaning the hobby room when i pick up this kit and look at it. Just saying to myself Mark u have to finnish this one before a new one will be started. A small update but a lot off time hent in it. The vorte generators on the wings(hope its the right name). This is how it look from the box. Now after 2 hours of fun and a few words later this is how it looks with the eduard parts in place. Its not 100% but its good for me. Next up the other side after i have done a few things on my F-86. Mark shepard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Paul Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Your Scooter is looking really great Mark! Looking forward to seeing it in paint soon! Have you run into any fit issues on the kit that a builder should be aware of? All the best, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you run into any fit issues on the kit that a builder should be aware of? All the best, Paul Hello Paul. So far all things fit good but i found only one small problem with the instructions, fitting(maybe its just me) The instruction call for gleuing the two after feuselage,afterwards the tail rudder. If u try to slide the rudder in place u dondt have the room to slide it in. So next time i will join the two parts of the rudder direct in place on the aft section. I hope u understand what i trying to explain. My english is not that good Mark LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
