Guest Peterpools Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Thanks Brian Totally agree with your opinion about the Hasegawa Jug .. One terrific kit. Still tinkering around with the prop and haven't added the prop hub yet, Matter of fact I noticed I had the prop on backwards and I just finished flipping it around.

Guest Peterpools Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Wolf Thanks for the kind words on the Jug and the gear. Pool season has been a grind this season with the unreal weather but in a few days, it's Augusts and things will continue to slow down to a normal pace and finally allowing for more regular work sessions.

Guest Peterpools Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) 8/4/13 UPDATE: PRIMING Still plugging away, slow but steady, as bench time is at a premium these days. It's scary to think, but I've actually started priming some of the sub assemblies and the balance of all the components and assemblies have had the seams filled, sanded and polished. What I thought would be an easy step in the building process was the front windscreen: too small and the fit wasn't good at all. I tinkered with the part for a few nights and then sent a PM to John B who pointed the way. I shimmed one side of the windscreen and then very carefully glued it in place on the shim side with Tamiya Extra Thin and on the other side with thin CCA. The front had a nice gap which was filled with Gorilla CCA. After sanding and cleaning the seams up, I followed John's suggestion and filled in any gaps with Vellejo Plastic Putty. Worked just fine: Thanks John. So far I've primed the engine cowl, flaps, prop and hub. Hoping tonight to finish the priming and spend next week cleaning up what needs to be done. Gear, the inside of the gear doors and the wheel wells are done, weathered and finished! Thanks for checking in. Enjoy [ The various fillers used on the Jug, Bet you can't tell which is my favorite?

Guest Peterpools Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Thanks Frank Finally able to make some progress and working towards the fun part: painting. Right now I'm planning on doing Schillings Jug from the 56FG and she is going to be wearing their standard cammo cloths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Cool! Good progress Peter. Im actually kind of shocked at the ill fit of the wind-screen. I dont recall having any issues in that dept with my jug. I very well may have though, since my build was a few years back. Either way, glad u got her worked out, and good go see some progress.

Guest Peterpools Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 John Right with you .. just love the 56FG Jugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks Buddy and much appreciated. At first I thought it as me but after checking with John, his front windscreen fit about the same. Sure glad John was able to point me in the right direction. With some luck and if the priming doesn't discover too many areas that need further attention, I just might be ready to stat the real painting this weekend. I have my fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
