LSP_K2 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 OK, my first new LSP model here for quite a while now, the Trumpeter 1:24 Bf 109G-6 (late version), graciously donated to me by our own Mark (dodgem37), thanks again, Mark, you're truly a good man. The ability to start from the beginning, and knowing that I already have some AM for the kit, has prompted me to throw caution to the wind and begin this, as one of my projected entries for the 2019 national convention, along with a few other choice selections.

dodgem37 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 No worries, thank you. I'll scan the Early Instructions and get it to you. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 No worries, thank you. I'll scan the Early Instructions and get it to you. Sincerely, Mark Wow, too cool, Mark. I really want the instructions for the review that I'm currently writing on the kit, to do some comparisons between the early and late versions, as far as the kit itself is concerned.

Out2gtcha Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Cool. Will watch this. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Mark, ever the gent, also included a Squadron vac canopy in the kit. No review here yet, so I'll be adding that to the "to do" pile as well. Shaka HI and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 OK, Mark came through for me, again, this time answering my request for an early canopy, so he sent me the entire tree of clear parts. He also threw in (unbeknownst to me at the time of his notifying me) a set of 1:24 seat belts for my use here. Cool job, Mark, once again.

LSP_K2 Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 The tentative scheme for this machine, though I have lots of flexibility here. Iain and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 One of several head scratchers regarding the kit; 16 ejector pin marks on this one part! I recall that the K-4 part was identical, so now I get to eliminate them all, one more time. Guyman1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 And the process begins. Naturally enough, I won't bother with the one under the seat. Six more to eliminate, and then I can commence with some detailing here. (The one in front of the control stick opening, appears to be not filled, but it was deep enough that I just used superglue, then sanded smooth.)

Gazzas Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 You'd think they coulda arranged it on the sprue so that the side never to be seen would have got the marks. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 You'd think they coulda arranged it on the sprue so that the side never to be seen would have got the marks. I agree, sort of. Usually, the side with the most detail, would be the one that would be the most likely to tend to get stuck in the mold cavity, so it really does make sense to do it this way, I just don't think it should require 16 or 17 of them.
