dutik Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Well, I'm in. Started cutting styrene today. Which kit? Stay tuned. Want to make an in-flight display with some troops on the ground too. M-ATVs, to be correct. Two or three of them. Yes, we are going to the Stan...

dutik Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 OK, it's Academys RQ-7B. A pusher with twin tailbooms. A very small and simple kit, but qualified First parts glued. To make an in-flight display I added Albion Alloys square tube into the rear fuselage and the base and a smaller one inbetween. Very nice stuff, the tubes fit each other precisely. Look at the belly: The kit is nice. Good fit. Some mould seams need to be removed. Break lines of the kit parts follow the real paneel lines. Some details are lacking, some details are simplified. Will add some gizmos here and there. Enjoy! - dutik Bill Cross, Girlscanplay2 and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 The 'stan is ready: Closeup: This is the kit base with some carved sheets of balsa wood, a layer of wood putty, Tamiya buff and black, sand and small pebbles, a liberal amount of pigments and a coat of flat varnish. ... Startet painting of the M-ATVs. Also added details to the drone. Some more to come. Keep care while handling this bird. The tail is that flimsy I broke it off two times...

Guest Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Dam, how did I miss this ? Looks great. The ground looks great as well as the build.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Still active with the build. Trying to add actuators for the flaps of all kind; but these are very tiny pieces. The wobbly tail does't help either. At least I made some progress painting the M-ATVs. Stay tuned. - dutik Girlscanplay2 and andromeda673 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 can't wait to see the update, and I'm sure it's going to be bad ass!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have to travel a lot these days, so progress is slow. But the subject was choosen wisely: Some small kits well suited for on-and-off working sessions. Pushed the M-ATVs ahead: Have to do some minor touch-ups here and there, paint the chain guns and to paint the bottom parts where the miniatures were tacked onto the woodsticks. On terrain: And the full view: Enjoy! - dutik Lars Befring, Girlscanplay2, KiwiZac and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Not sure how I missed this one! Very unique kit and the presentation is going to be awesome! John dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Started to add/replace some finer details. The pushrods for all moving surfaces and some small switches located at starbord. Have to have a look for antenna wires and so before painting the fuselage. Engine to follow later. Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
