olgerd83 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Nice start Jorge, I also have the same kit and I'll be watching for your build. I suppose that F-86 will be my next model-to-build, but I'm not sure yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Oleg, can you check if your wings have the same issue as mine??, i keep working on small items till i find a solution to the wings problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I always thought the wings were deliberately moulded with that effect - pretty sure the one I have is identical... Iain Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oppenheimer Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Oleg, thanks for the pictures of the real monster, they will be helpful during the build, ok so going back to the model, i removed the gun panel from the nose, the one on the model really sucks so i cut it out and i am waiting for a resin replacement about the wing, the real stuff dont have those deep sinks on the center panel, so i pulled out the credit card and bought one from Kinetic, hopping that the new one will be better, at least a will use the aft fuselage to replace the original one. to try to fix the sinks in the wing i used Tamiya putty dissolved with some thinner, and covered one of the panels, i dont mind loosing the rivets details on the center wing panels, in the real one you dont see any rivets on the center fuel panels Edited November 13, 2014 by oppenheimer sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 here are the wings one filled and sanded and the other natural from the box the sinks are barely visible, will see how it will look with the primer on EmperorKai, Harold and sandokan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Neat fix! I just wondered if you are going to use the RAF decals in your kit?! I have the Korean Air Force version of this model, but wouldn't mind doing an RAF one maybe. I have some USAF Korean war decals already, but the RAF one would fit in better with my other models!! Or maybe I should just get another one as well, and plan to do both!! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Tim i am going to use the USAF decals for the huff the dragon, so far the fix looks good, as soon as i prime the wing i will post a picture so everyone can see how it looks Jorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Joge Nice progress on resolving the multitude of kit molding problems. Can't wait to see how the Huff looks under the primer Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 one wing primed, it look great, barely visible the sinks over the wing, it will look like a little stressed skin with the alclad finish , it looks much more natural without all the rivet holes in the center panel of the wing, next step, fix the rest of the wing on the upper and lower sides, also the pin holes for the lex fences over the wing will be gone because the HUFF did not have them sandokan, EmperorKai and Harold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Jorge Totally agree ... Aces on the wing re-work Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
