Martinnfb Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Good Evening My Friends, first of all thank you Paul for organizing another, exciting GB. Not sure where to start, it's all Harvie's fault , anyways this kit has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time and I was looking for reasons why to not build it. Then HpH Fagot appeared and there is no reason to dwell on shrinking pile of resin. I started on Monday and spend 11 hours by cleaning the molds. No warping detected so far, but the flash is very heavy and partially damaged fine surface detail. The prove are fuel tanks that are basically useless, full of bubbles and cracks. I will go without them with adding some extra detail at the lower wing anchoring points. I am not going to use much of an aftermarket trinkets , just a set of Master barrels. This is not a Mr. Fisher's work, but better than Trumpet's offering and yet sits dead on the blueprint. It's getting late so here are some pictures.

Dragon Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah, Harv is a strong persuader! Awesome detailing of the cockpit. I'll be learning a few things from you Martin. Did you find the right decals you're after? PM me if not. Mike FunkyZeit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thank You Brian and Kevin, I will try to finish this time . Hey Mike, thanks for the kind words, It would be great to help to each other in researching material and building techniques, this is my first resin kit and not exactly shake and bake style, so it may be a bumpy road. Here is some detail of cockpit hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Trumpies kit has them right out of the box. For a fistful of dollars Well, a "resin duell": Tac Air vs HPH At least your kit has balls Or should I say: Yankee beware, here flies a lot of lead through the air? - dutik Zero77 and Dragon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 LOL. It does look like he smacked a light pole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Or the tail of his flight leader! I may need to consider "bullishevik" for my build too. Mike Edited March 6, 2015 by Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 LOL. It does look like he smacked a light pole! must be Chinese driver , but back to the point of the wing spar Or the tail of his flight leader! I may need to consider "bullishevik" for my build too. Mike Yeah, better be safe with that chunk of resin at the tail, I used a regular steel shot, it's as heavy as lead without the element of toxicity. and here is rear of the cockpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
