jean luc Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hi everybody I start editing this monster to be honest it's been at least 25 years that I have not touched an airfix kit and the surprise is pretty good when I look at the clusters we are far from the kits of my youth I will join him a lot of goodies for decoration I'm not 100% fixed he squeezed everything open of course I feel like I'm having a good time with between 2 sessions on my F3B1 very quickly for the beginning of editing LSP_K2, chukw, Jeff and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean luc Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 thank you for following this adventure for the moment it is a big job to remove the molding lines on the internal tubular structures without making any dish or damage the details I show you here in the evening Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimHepplestone Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 thank you for informing me of the problem Likewise on the landing gear. That said possibly the best kit I've ever built. Just found a lot of the small parts had a lot of flash on them. Must have gone through a box of 11scalpel blades cleaning them up!! But enjoy and will follow with interest jean luc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean luc Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 here is the beginning of the coloring of the internal structure the set received a layer aluminum MR COLOR as we see everything as color for the structure I made this choice I started to dirty the front part (nothing is finished yet) it's going to be a lot of fun to work as a zone more for the future Seversky, sandokan, Victor K2 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 i built this last year its a lovley kit, but you must get a metal landing gear, mine is starting to sag I'm confused - what metal landing gear are you referring to? Surely not the SAC white metal? I was not aware that anyone else made some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
