Daniel Iscold Posted July 9 Posted July 9 (edited) "Tools i used, including my thumb." HAHAHAHAHAH I opened the thread this morning to make the same question! I was curious about it. Because of your thread I also purchased a OHKA kit from Mikro Mir and planing to build it soon Mal. Thanks for sharing with us your method and tools. Thankfully I have a spare thumb here in case one fails.😁 Edited July 9 by Daniel Iscold Mal_Belford 1

Thankfully I have a spare thumb here in case one fails.😁 I had no other choice here. As the kit part were unusable due big sinkmark in the middle, shown earlier, if yours is good then time saver for you indeed. All them kits ive seen on the internet and reviews got that sinkmark on that part sadly. Mine that i posted earlier in this project. As can be seen big sinkmark, way too much work to salvage that part and get s good result imo, so decided to do them all and replace the modelkits so all get the same shape and look. The picture from hobby store. Yes same defect sadly....sinkmark. And this picture from one that did a fast review on Britmodeller. Yes that sinkmark is there too. Reason why not been noticed from other builders, is the lack of finnished ones beleive, and i havent found any single finnished Ohka 1:32 Mikromir yet.

Mal_Belford Posted July 9 Author Posted July 9 Just now, Out2gtcha said: Thats a shame Mal, but I know you can persevere! Hey, all of them vent holes are finnished and stored in box for later assembly, one behind the canopy, two on the sides, there are two more on the fuselage belly, couple of them Vents, total 5 of them. So now can focus on other things, little more superdetailing and PE parts on the sidewalls in the cockpit, som electrical wiring (few cables only). And some research on the interior colors, soon there. scvrobeson and Out2gtcha 2
Mal_Belford Posted July 9 Author Posted July 9 Allright fellow modellers. Remember that sink mark and that ventilation intake....deformed indeed hey. This will come in handy with CA glue, yes yes...that sink hole is blown to oblivion LoL. Yes, smooth and fine, and hey dont worry that tiny gaps will be history aswell. And some dryfitting, hey way better. The manual lacks alot of steps, and parts for a tailwheel, its there but yaih some parts..oh well, common sense here and take it slowly, and dryfit constantly, yes the hole is done, found alot of real good photos of this area among many others, yaih my picture portfolio sure grown alot theese days, yes i do put alot of time in searching. here is one that clearly shows the tailwheel...yes yes, very nice indeed and they will help alot. Note that primer color hey.. Fanes, geedubelyer, LSP_Kevin and 7 others 10
Mal_Belford Posted July 9 Author Posted July 9 Constant dryfitting on this project, yes yes, all fits hey...and will do ju just fine for me. Shoggz, denders, Martinnfb and 10 others 13
scvrobeson Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Really nice improvements and additions Mal! Really helps elevate the Ohka. Matt Mal_Belford 1
Mal_Belford Posted July 10 Author Posted July 10 Thanks @scvrobeson Thanks and yes, as found things i feel that i need to do something about.
Mal_Belford Posted July 10 Author Posted July 10 (edited) Another picture, noticed several days ago and recall i mentioned it, them ventilation holes, that there are two more, and nothing on the kit. And yes, will open up a hole aswell. note them vent opening, two directions. Edited July 10 by Mal_Belford TankBuster, Martinnfb, denders and 1 other 4

Corrected them most crucial imo. them big fit issues is solved, now can focus on adding scratched parts, more PE, later paint, wich also is decided.

Every one ive seen online got that sinkmark sadly. But what to expect, its a shortrun for sure so have to accept flaws lol. Nevertheless its a cool subject to have in the glass cabinet later when finnished.
