blackbetty Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 i will try various products and see what suits me best. thanx for all the help. that being said, i managed to drop the whole fuselage assembly with it thereafter desintegrating into all parts i wasnt able to look at the thing for a week, but now put everything together again: the intake has some broken off pieces missing, i will try to reconstruct these next the bottom has a gap at the front, but nothing serious stay tuned...

Out2gtcha Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Great work Karl! I know what its like to have one of *THOSE* moments. Occasionally Ive "put my foot down" (directly ON the model I dropped) and sometimes, restraint got the better of me, and I did what you did and thats picked up the pieces and eventually put them back together. Good recovery...............carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) thanx for the encouragement, Brian! slowly putting the parts together i tried some microbaloons on the bis gaps and now some perfect plastic putty (both firsts) to smooth the joints. we will se how that works out. fuselage has some primer.

Troy Molitor Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Love this litttle bird Karl. I saw one of these in person once at the Chinese Aviation museum outside of Beijing. I've always liked the lines on this little fighter. Thanks for the progress report and keep the awesome momentum going. Thanks for sharing.

blackbetty Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 thanx guys, i really appreciate your comments. i have finished the cockpit and opted to keep the canopy closed. i glued it on with gator glue (really nice stuff that also fills imperfections) then shot some primer after rescribing some of the lost detail still some imperfections, but i´m getting there Dany Boy and mywifehatesmodels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Looks promising Some minor imperfections to fix (seam in the wheel well, exhaust belly) and you are ready to finish the paint Job. Had the wings and the wing roots (same goes for Elevators) the same thickness? A common problem with resin kits, so I am curious.

Troy Molitor Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I really like the ones on this one. Please keep them coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 the wing and elevator joints needed only very minor putty work, the fit was pretty good. dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 after some more mishaps and a brocken off wing (these joints ARE brittle), i´m on the home stretch i still have to assemble the landinggear completely and insert 25 gramms of lead from the jet pipe hole into the fuselage. dutik, LSP_Kevin and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
