ScoobyDoo Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Wow, nice kit, nice review, and nice build thus far! And 410 squadron too! One of my sister squadrons! Palm-tree, Iain and Kagemusha 3
Iain Posted June 22 Author Posted June 22 Apologies for delay - but a little more progress. Base Interior Grey/Green - in this case MRP. Detail painting and weathering to follow - but the base coat shows up the superb detail... Dry assembled: With a tiny bit of trimming in places, the fit to the fuselage halves is superb! Main panel back and boxes sprayed black - and dry fitted: And the two halves closed up - again - just a dry fit at this stage. I've also softened the transition from the base of the canopy to the fuselage sides with a little Milliput - need to add some detail back. Absolutely loving this kit - the detail and fit of parts is fantastic - and hugely rewarding to work with. Iain monthebiff, Fanes, Borsos and 16 others 18 1
Iain Posted June 22 Author Posted June 22 Continuing the 'dry fit' theme - it would be rude to not slot the tailplane in place - that's how good the fit is! I've also reshaped the cross section of the rear fuselage a little so it's a bit flatter on the upper quarters on either side of the opening for the turret fairing: And try out the wings, rudder, rear decking and cockpit canopy - again - all dry fitted! Note that I've also modded the 'ears' on either side of the cowling part - they are now recessed, rather than proud of the surface: Really looking forward to getting the cockpit interior all painted up and assembled - it's going to look quite something...

monthebiff Posted June 22 Posted June 22 Really nice work Iain and fabulous photos really showing the quality of this kit. Really looking forward to building mine later this year. Regards. Andy Iain, Kagemusha and Martinnfb 3
Iain Posted June 22 Author Posted June 22 Thanks Andy - I think you'll enjoy building it... 🙂 BTW - there is absolutely no surface prep under that grey-green - just a little work with a file to clean up print support attachment points. The print resolution really is that good! Iain Martinnfb, LSP_Ray, monthebiff and 7 others 8 2
